망각속에 기록하기: In this project, I'd like to pose the question of how past events and lost memories can become a powerful force that subconsciously connects people from different times and places.
* Hair in my work represents a connection to home, identity, and a link between past and future. Shed hair is a metaphor for memory loss, detached self, isolation, and disconnection.
* Thread in my work is a metaphor for connectivity or continuity as well as to think of how we define the passage of time and how time creates memories that connect individuals and the past and future.
