Within a few short minutes of its online release, the digital plaiting by Korean artist Jeong-Hyun Seok had already taken the viral world by storm, garnishing thousands of shares and even more likes across social networks.
The popularity of the artist’s four-minute clip which covers the entire life of a woman as she changes from newborn infant to aging senior citizen, is not altogether surprising. We have long been fascinated by, if not fearful of, aging, that one inevitable end that each human is constantly approaching. Watching as Seok changes the existing lines of his drawing, manipulating them to show the passing of time is quite spectacular.
