About: In 2023, I booked a flight to fulfill my lifelong dream of traveling to Korea to meet my grandmother. How does one prepare for seeing a family they've never met and a homeland where they've never set foot? In the car, when driving to the first ever meeting between me and my grandmother, my cousin helped me write the sentence "HAL-MUH-NI-POGO-SHEEP-UH-SUHYO"on a post it note. A simplification of “grandmother, I missed you” in Korean. To this day it is the only phrase in my vocabulary she can understand. The exhibition documents the unique juxtapositions of family and stranger / familiar and foreign - through my trips to Korea as the daughter of a transracial adoptee.
