"The store hours are from 6:30 in the morning to 10:00 at night. But I arrive at 6:00, so I work 16 hours a day."
The store near Washington DC does not exhibit art. But long rolls of rice paper are stored under a shelf for merchandise. When the store is not busy, usually in the late afternoon, it's time for calligraphy. Kwon is writing the word "door" in Korean over and over.
"Door implies opening. And getting through all the passages in life is also opening a door. But we cannot do that without efforts. We have to work hard to open the doors to achieve our dream."
Most of Kwon's calligraphies contain small Korean letters. He says that's a byproduct of circumstance.
"While running the store for long hours, I wanted to utilize the time because I barely had time at home. But when customers came in, I had to stop writing. Then the tip of the brush got dry and the mood changed. So I decided that I could work better with small letters."
One of Kwon's works is the silhouette of a figure skater. It's formed from thousands of tiny letters. The skater is Olympic gold medalist Kim Yu-Na from South Korea. The letters are her nickname, "flower".权明元在柜台招待客人，他的妻子素英做着三明治。他们在这家店一起工作了二十年。这家小店主售啤酒和葡萄酒以及招牌三明治。
“本店的开业时间是从早上六点半到晚上十点。但是我是早上六点到的，所以我相当于一天要工作十六小时。”
这个小店位于华盛顿附近，虽然并不是美术展览馆，但总有几卷长长的宣纸放于货架下。当店里的生意较为冷清时，通常在傍晚时分，书法时间就开始了。权明元一次又一次地书写着韩文里“门”这个字。
“门暗指开启。通过生命中的关口相当于开启了一扇门。但是没有付出，我们就无法达成所愿。我们必须努力奋斗，打开一扇又一扇的门，实现我们的梦想。”
权明元的书法作品大都包含很小的韩文字。他说那都是权宜之计。
“打理店铺要很长时间，我想利用好这些时间（练习书法），因为我在家几乎没有闲暇。但是每当顾客进门，我就必须停下笔来。之后毛笔变干，我的心情也不复当初。我决定写小字（不会被打断）。写小字的话，我能写得更好。”
权明元的一幅作品描绘的是花样滑冰运动员的轮廓。它由成千上万的小字构成。这位运动员是韩国的奥运会金牌得主金妍儿。而那些小字则都是她的昵称——花。
