Sprouting

Cultural context has shaped my work as I have spent half my life in South Korea and the other half in the United States. I have had equal exposure to two vastly different cultures. In my years of dealing with the issues of a bi-cultural lifestyle, art has helped me reconcile the conflicting nature of two different worlds, serving as a haven to a stranger from a different shore. My worldview has been shaped by my experiences as a woman, a mother, and an immigrant. My work is an effort to draw connections between my inner life and the world beyond.
