I hope my story will comfort my wounded audiences. The world is wider than we think, life is longer than we think, and āIā am stronger than I think. I made this film in the belief that, after enduring all the ugly and absurd times, there comes the time that we shine brightly; Especially, through art making. The process of making this film for me was another healing. Art is what sublimates us. Art can be found anywhere and I wish everyone to find their art to heal.
I am a filmmaker and video artist from South Korea who is now based in Brooklyn, NY. My work mainly consists of video art, documentary, video installation, and experimental films, with a special interest in photography and Photo-Motion, a technique of stop motion using varied imagery.
