Artist’s Note

The moon holds an emotional meaning for Koreans.
And the yucca, though native to this land, feels unfamiliar to me.

A landscape where familiarity and unfamiliarity coexist.
I am both a stranger and a resident,
a resident and a stranger.

Symbol note

• The moon is something special to Koreans

Thinking

• The Moon and Korean Culture
