this composite image is a documentation of a site-specific installation which explores notions of home and belonging by negotiating the tension felt at the imaginary meeting points of divergent material cultures. the original work is a hybrid and unfixed portal that joins together paper (used to line many surfaces inside traditional korean homes) & stained glass. through its digitization, the invisible emotional field of the work is rendered palpable: the presence of ancestors which have a grasp on my creation process quietly shines.
