LOONA Go Won Album Art Impression

The Apparent

Photographed by Mugunghwa Sonyeo, the subject is the super duper pretty and super duper talented Go Won from LOONA. Her body armor is the Gothic Lolita look. Her face is lit by a powerful light source–perhaps the Sun–through the window. The window shadow expresses a confining background. The light and shadow interplay suggest a greyscale or film noir exposure. Clean Korean typography imparts 'LOONA Go Won'. Handwritten typography that references name-tags conveys 'Go Won' in Eden Green.

Go Won

She is the 11th member of LOONA. She has a cute crunchy vocal timbre, great rap skills and fluent dance moves. Her single Go Won has ‘One&Only’ as A-side and ‘SeeSaw’ as B-side.

Go Won’s group LOONA has an astral world-building component to it called LOONAverse and its metaphysics is transcribed in LOONAlore. According to LOONAlore, Go Won is the color Eden Green.

Album Cover: Gothic Lolita

Gothic Lolita is the baby of the Goth and Lolita look. Goth is the study and romanticism of Truth in Shadows. Lolita is the many manifestations of Alice in Wonderland/Victorian era aesthetics.

Album Cover: Film Noir

Film Noir is the investigation of Light and Shadow. It’s a nice look to employ if a director wishes to inspect the non-innocent actions and motives of Man.

Songs

The A-side ‘One&Only’ dwells on the meditations of feminine psyche as she develops to a more mature silhouette.

The B-side ‘See Saw’ reflects on the time-twisting love feedback created by mutual passionate gazing with a loved one but presently labeled as a former lover.

Album Cover: Eden Green

The Eden Green on the typography can be painted as the fruit of Eden and Green: Eden as blissful non-duality; Green as fertility or freshness like the leaves in a well-loved garden.

Composition/Integration

Growing up there is this tension between the familiar and non-familiar, and the inability to have skillful suffering-contemplation leads to self-imposed drama. Gangs of desire, floppy courters, truth twisters, irresponsible gurus, sincere fools roust eggshell dolls instead of dancing goddesses. Stuck in shadows, Dimness becomes a familiar so the childish develops dull humor and painful tactics that creates an unseen sad loop prison. But in that fertile place between the girl and the lady, past and future, homey garden cradle and unfamilial wilderness, father and mother, lusting and loving, cold bluntness and wild sharpness, hugging and heartbreak, separation and non-separation, deficiency...excess, Discernment unveils awesome Will full of Clarity. So, as the baby crawls outside through windows, doors and cosy gardens, the girl should trace the ancestry of her babysteps like following Alice's white rabbit. With her name-tag on, she could stand and not be bewildered by what is outside of her and see sharply that the arcane wilderness are future gardens waiting to sweetly dance with the Heavens.
