Based on Shin Yun-bok's work, a pivotal figure in late Joseon-era genre paintings, Jungyeon focused on 'Hyewonjeonshincheop' portraying everyday Korean life, reinterpreting it through a contemporary lens. The handmade silk-screen reinterprets his day in the country scene. "On a hill covered with cherry blossoms, hip young people park luxury their cars and enjoy a spring outing. Youth today drive cars and ride bikes and scooters instead of horses." Award: American Illustration 43
