The idea of race has always played a big part of my work. I wanted to explore and investigate further into how color defines race. As color is placed into one’s identity from birth, it also comes with generalization and stereotypes. Working with race as a Korean American has always put me in a difficult position. In America, the issue of race is often portrayed as black and white conflict, however it goes beyond that and there are more than just African Americans who are oppressed in this country.
