EACH SORROW, 2020
Large format print
400x660 cm (dimensions variable)
The billboard-sized print shows myungjusil, a special type of white cotton yarn used in shamanistic rituals on the Korean island of Jeju. Myungjusil symbolizes longevity, associating it with notions of time and memory. Bundles of yarn are arranged in a harmonious oval shape – almost like an island – while the individual strings of yarn are entangled with each other similar to how the fates of Jeju residents became entangled during the Jeju April Third Massacre.
