Korean Tales
I'm such a nerd when it comes to the Korean myth and history pieces I create! I dive deep into research for these bigger works, because honestly, the stories are just so captivating. I'm especially drawn to tales about personal growth and the journey of evolving into your true self.
I really intend for these pieces to be an invitation for people to get curious about Korean culture. As a Korean immigrant, it used to frustrate me when people would ask if these stories were Chinese or Japanese. So, I started weaving little "Easter eggs" of Korean culture into my art, even in pieces that aren't primarily about Korean themes. It's a subtle way to share a bit of my heritage and hopefully, spark a bit more understanding.
