I'll join the throng who 'light-up' in front of Young-hae and Marc's 
pieces. But I'd like to backtrack for further illumination concerning 
the process that generated 'the first piece ever'........

Several questions - all may answer!

What was 'it' that was seen by Kim to attract her attention?

How did Young-hae and Marc feel about the idea of a commission? Did the 
notion of being asked to do something, fall comfortably within their 
cultural remit?

What kind of interaction occurred between the two parties to generate 
the 'first piece ever' in what became a remarkable series?
