Memory Diaspora



The world of Memory Diaspora, where the artist depicts a memory world; where consciousness and subconsciousness are stored and transform freely, where memories exist as a diaspora.




Since 2020, I have been developing a project called Memory Diaspora. I depict a memory world where consciousness and subconsciousness are stored and evolve freely, where memories exist as a diaspora. I collect people’s memories about a specific thing in each series to construct this world. I use the objects/things to which people with different cultural backgrounds can relate as the research mediums to understand memories, migration, experiences of encountering a new culture and how they interact to form cultural hybridity. 

The three series are: Reminiscence Objects, Home food and Plantae 
They are all on-going projects.
