【 V. Embroidery Exhibition 】
We are organizing an embroidery exhibition in Stockholm, Sweden—the birthplace of Alfred Nobel—to share this message with the world and to reflect on the responsibility that comes with knowledge and technology for humanity. Through our artistic endeavors, we aim to promote **G.Y.B – 11.11 R&R DAY (Remembrance & Responsibility Day)**.
Why are we organizing an embroidery exhibition in Stockholm?
We chose Stockholm, Sweden, as the venue for our embroidery exhibition not simply to display our works in a city.
Sweden is the birthplace of Alfred Nobel, the inventor of dynamite. While dynamite has become a powerful tool for advancing humanity’s industry and civilization, its power has always raised questions about safety and responsibility.
This is precisely why G.Y.B. has long been researching digital management systems for the safe handling of industrial explosives. We believe that the greater the power, the greater the responsibility, and that the true value of technology ultimately lies in protecting human life.
Furthermore, we believe that beyond this technical responsibility, the spirit of remembering those who have sacrificed their lives is also a crucial starting point for building a safe and peaceful future. That is why we seek to express the values of **“Memory” and “Responsibility”** through embroidery—a craft meticulously crafted stitch by stitch over a long period of time.
The embroidery exhibition we plan to hold in Stockholm, Nobel’s hometown, is a symbolic event that weaves together the history of dynamite, today’s safety technology, the memories of the past, and the responsibilities of the future into a single narrative.
If the inventions of the past have granted humanity immense power, we today must reflect on how to use that power safely and what kind of world we will leave for future generations.
It was this question that gave rise to **G.Y.B – 11.11 R&R DAY (Remembrance & Responsibility Day)**.
In Nobel’s hometown, we aim to remember the power of the past, preserve the memory of sacrifice through embroidery, protect lives through technology, and carry all of this meaning forward “from remembrance to responsibility.”
(Although the exact timing has not yet been finalized, we will carry out this plan if funding and exhibition conditions are met.)

We aim to fill the safety gaps that machines overlook with the care and dedication of “embroidery,” stitch by stitch.
1. Flowers of Memory Blooming in Nobel’s Hometown
We are preparing a special embroidery exhibition in Stockholm, Sweden, a city imbued with the spirit of Alfred Nobel. This exhibition is not merely a showcase of artworks. It will serve as a forum for philosophical dialogue, exploring Nobel’s inner struggles as he introduced the immense power of dynamite to the world, and demonstrating how modern technology and art offer the answer of **“protecting life”**.
2. Records and Dedication Transcended into Art
The embroidery works created by Korean artist Lee Jeong-sook commemorate, stitch by stitch, the noble names of UN veterans and the lives lost to industrial accidents. The profound human devotion—which no machine can replicate—visually demonstrates the **‘ethical sensitivity’** and **‘weight of responsibility’** we must uphold in our approach to technology.
3. Preparations and Commitments Toward Realization
Although the exact timing is still being finalized depending on various circumstances, we are firmly committed to sharing this message with the world. As soon as all conditions are met, Stockholm will become a historic venue where the universal human values of memory and responsibility are brought together through art. Your support and solidarity are the strongest driving force behind the realization of this exhibition.
We aim to convey the resonance that academic texts cannot convey through the **“language of art”**.
This exhibition, to be held in Stockholm, is like a **“report”** showing how the intellectuals of our time are tackling the scientific challenges left behind by Nobel. Your name will be included in the list of honorary patrons of this exhibition, standing as a testament to an intellectual who has chosen “human dignity” in an era of cold technological determinism. Just as individual stitches come together to form a magnificent work of art, your support will contribute to a vast safety net that saves humanity. Please lend your support to this magnificent narrative unfolding
Embroidering Time, Weaving Memories
1. These embroidery works are the result of a long struggle spanning 18 years.
Just as individual stitches come together to form beautiful patterns, this exhibition—woven from 18 years of perseverance—is a record of earnest prayers for the happiness of humanity.
2. A piece of embroidery is like a bridge of memory.
The threads of embroidery continue unbroken, weaving together a single world. Our journey toward the “Museum of the Soul” will also become an invisible thread connecting generations and nations, embroidering a pattern of responsibility that resists oblivion.
3. These embroidery pieces evoke “memories of healing and sacrifice.”
The delicate embroidery etched onto rough fabric is a healing process that transforms the traces of suffering into art. By densely stitching together the sacrifices of war veterans and the pain of industrial accidents with the thread of memory, we aim to create a warm cloak that embodies the shared safety of humanity.
Eighteen years of waiting—humanity’s happiness embroidered one stitch at a time.
A pattern of responsibility woven with the thread of memory: the path to the museum of the soul.
We are all precious stitches that complete the grand tapestry of humanity.
Just as there are countless knots on the back of a beautiful piece of embroidery, this project was the result of 18 years of unseen hard work.
Every masterpiece tells a story not only through its visible patterns but also through the quiet time and patience invested in its creation. Our journey toward global safety is much like the art of embroidery. It has been a solitary struggle against time that has spanned 18 long years.
We ask that you view our work as a record of our earnest prayers for the happiness of humanity. Like the unbroken threads of embroidery, our mission will become an invisible thread connecting generations and nations. We are moving forward together toward the **“Museum of the Soul”**, embroidering the **“Pattern of Responsibility”** that resists oblivion.
Upon the rough fabric of our history—stained by the sacrifices of war veterans and the tragedies of industrial accidents—
we are stitching a new narrative of healing. This delicate embroidery will become a **“warm coat”** for the common safety of humanity, enveloping us all.
Just as there are countless knots hidden behind beautiful embroidery, this project was built upon 18 years of unseen hardship.
We are all precious stitches that make up the vast tapestry of humanity.
