This is the latest work from the ongoing project exploring the living
culture of Sea Women nurtured in the sea between Japan and Korea as shown in the first drawing. Five screens are placed based on the
geographical location of each divers' villages along the strait. Each of them
screening a moving image showing what I would call a record of my journey including a footage of an Udo Island diver singing for me the Jeju-Haenyeo Anti Japanese Song written by her father while being imprisoned for political activity. The journey was inspired by numbers of
personal histories and memories of physical experiences signaling the simple,
yet complex human activity and emotional landscapes across the sea. The sounds
are played respectively from speakers set above each screen. The screens are surrounded by
large scale drawings created solely by crystallizing the salt and sea-water
collected from each locations, transforming the exhibition space into an
imaginary strait that one can walk along, imagining the lands seen from the
sea.
