6.25. is a personal exploration of the Korean War’s aftermath on my father and its resonance with my own diasporic journey as a first-generation immigrant artist. It serves as a personal map that navigates the complex and often uncharted terrain of the displacement and as a showcase of the geopolitical power struggles, including the colonization and division of Korea shaped by the Cold War and superpower rivalries.
Weaving influences from Handicrafts, personal and historical narratives, I recontextualize them with the modernist artistic approaches and narrative deconstructions to contemplate overlooked narratives, while projecting possible identities for the marginalized and providing a commentary on redemptive identity.
