Old age is not just a time to prepare for the end of life.
This period is another turning point in life, one that is not only filled with loss and regression, but also with reflection, introspection, and the possibility of new creation.
However, many older people experience various difficulties in reality, such as psychological withdrawal, social isolation, cognitive decline, and experiences of loss, and lose their vitality in life.
In it, it is more urgent than anything to confirm that one is still a meaningful being and to have the opportunity to express one's inner world.

Art is a language that can express emotions and memories that are difficult to describe in words through color and lines, and for the elderly, the very act of expression becomes an important process that proves their existence.
Sometimes, a single, silent drawing can convey the sadness, loneliness, or joy of being alive that cannot be expressed in words.
Art therapy becomes a bridge between the inner self and the world of the elderly at this very point.
Through art, we can achieve sensory communication that transcends language, integrate memories and emotions, and achieve an artistic journey that restores the meaning of life.

This book started from that belief.
The lives of the elderly are still ongoing, and within them exist unspoken stories and unique colors.
Art therapy is also a journey of listening to the story, giving meaning to the colors, and walking quietly together.
We would like to call this process of rediscovering ourselves and reconstructing our lives through the tool of drawing, 'adding color to the journey of drawing life.'

I hope this book will be more than just a theoretical book or a practical guide; it will be a warm companion for those seeking to understand the lives of the elderly.
I also hope that the lines and colors that bloom again in the hands of the elderly will become a small echo that awakens another possibility in life for everyone living in this era.
