This  body of work navigates the intersection of Korean and American cultural identity. This series draws inspiration from the tradition of making rice cake (tteok), a meaningful practice in Korean culture shared during both celebration and mourning.
Through abstract, simplified compositions, the work reflects values of diligence, order, and harmony. While the imagery remains open to personal interpretation, the familiar presence of rice invites a quiet connection — a shared, universal thread linking memory, culture, and community.
