I often criticize the supposed neutrality of language, especially Standard American English, and question the inherent power structures that are embedded in everyday exchanges. I aim to create new relationships and meanings in the simultaneity that exists in the spoken and written forms of English and Korean. My artistic expression is based closely on the incidents of my own lived experiences, and re-examining those incidences. I challenge the ideas and structures around the prevalence of white supremacy steeped into our everyday lives, and questioning what it means to fight for justice through small acts of resistance.application/pdfen-USnoneFine artsFine artsThesis
