Filtered Memories,
-2007
-various size hanging scrolls
-Incense burning and transfer printing on Japanese paper Sekishu thick
-Water bowl (Ong-Gi: Korean traditional pot)
“Eight years after my father’s death, my mother sent me his diaries which he began to write when he was my age. I have reproduced selections from those diaries. He has come back as a memory.”
This project, which presents ancestral rite, is personally giving my father’s diary a new birth and let his voice be heard visually in a silence and evoke the spirit just what my ancestors and my parents have done by using light up in this project. Through my working process, I have been in a part of the circulation in the family. And it is also a process of healing the pain of losing someone that I love.
When lit, text casts shadows. Light creates shadow just as life creates death. My story is about the endless circulation of life. Death is not the end, but the other side of life and a part of it. The lost come back as a memory.
