6.25

in progress

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 division of Korea shaped by the Cold War and superpower rivalries.
