The materiality of text has changed me as a writer forever. The world created paper to carry story and memory, ritual and future. I guess in some way paper and I share this in common: how we were both built for language.
Ironically, as a writer I’ve always identified with my hands. The usual wrist pains and writer’s bump and hand cramps. But it was through ceramics and paper and book arts that I really came to befriend them.
Pulled sheets of paper for hours last weekend and remembered that my exploration of art has always been about history, function and self.
at night, it could be said that the poetry of city light throughout the world is the same.
I have been thinking of you against the flow of time, wishing I could have told you more often: beautiful soul, brave, strong, vulnerable and hopeful, I have always loved the colour of your heart. But you already know. I hope peace is a mighty river where you are. I hope the good things of this life are flowering in your hands. I hope you are whole and loved and full. Till we meet again, my love. Till then, be well.
I miss the heat and the sound of the rain.
從小在意別人眼光的我，從小嚮往自由的我，一日一日走過了。 依然在意，卻更多了灑脫。 想用龐大的勇氣擁抱世界與世界裡的自己。 想用遼闊的善良接受世界與世界裡的自己。
I feel caught between cities, my heart stretched so wide. how to live a life that can fill in the gaps?
Hello my city on this side of the world, hello. 💕

tiny snippet of my march which really drilled right in from the first week while i was adjusting from a wonderful week in singapore, but still welcomed me with bright colours and people in the gloom of season transition. - 음울한 날씨에 그래도 밝은 색깔들이 있었던 삼월. 한 달안에 너무나도 많은 일이 생기고 해내고, 많은 사람들 만나고 헤어지고, 배우고 잃고. 어차피 몇 년간 여기 더 있을 텐데 긍정적인 마음으로 지내야지.
on the day abby and i had our first salted egg croissant, jasmine unintentionally matched ripple root’s mural, and all these fun colours are what i crave in this still chilly toronto weather. - maybe spring’s almost here? mood cue: @seo_jayeong_’s 계절이 바뀌는 것처럼
snippet of home. it’s been forever since i spent today with the people i love the most. - 내가 무엇을 하든 항상 믿어주는 아빠와 엄마. 나한텐 아무 말도 않하면서 주변 사람들한테 누나 칭찬하고 다니는, 이 세상에서 더 좋은 동생을 바라지 않게 해주는 동생. 10년 넘게 엉뚱한 나를 받아주고 힘든 모든 것들을 편히 수다 떨면서 시간 보낼 수 있는 가족 같은 친구. 어린 나한테 소중한 기회를 주고 믿어주는 동료들. 그리고 주변에 나를 사랑하고 걱정해주는 좋은 친구들. 매일 하루를 바쁘게 지내서 나는 제대로 못 챙겨주는 거 같지만 그래도 내 곁에 있는 사람들. - 너무 감사한 사람들. - 아이유 “스물셋”을 들으며 한국에서 나이 한 살 더 먹었다는 사실을 거부하며.
one of my favourite poems. a reminder. - 생명은 그래요 어디 기대지 않으면 살아 갈 수 있나요? 공기에 기대고 서 있는 나무들 좀 보세요. - 우리는 기대는 데가 많은데 기대는 게 맑기도 하고 흐리기도 하니 우리 또한 맑기도 흐리기도 하지요. - 비스듬히 다른 비스듬히를 받치고 있는 이여. 정현종 <비스듬히> - i had a very nice conversation with a woman i met at the opening reception yesterday. about the importance of collaboration. of working together. of giving back. of respecting, appreciating & loving each other.
this day began with salted egg croissants, then going to indie bookstores, a teahouse, and eating ice cream with gulu melaka and cheesecake with lycee mousse, and wrapping it up with late evening live music. - a slow travel documenter who still hasn’t organized the photos from a month ago.
always hard to stay when your head is already somewhere else. - 떠나고 싶다. 여기를 떠나야해. 요즘에 입에 달고 사는 말. - 아직 토론토를 다 보지 못해서 그래, 주변 친구들은 이 도시가 얼마나 재밌고 좋은지 또 다른 매력을 보여준다고 나한테 말한다. - 하지만 내가 말하는 지루함과 답답함은 더 구경하고 더 만나고 더 본다고 바뀔 마음이 아니다. 나는 싱가폴가서 더욱 확실해졌다. 나는 여기를 짧은 기간이라도 떠나야된다고. 아니면 곧 정신 나갈 수도 있다고.
words of kindness and appreciation for the spaces we create and the work we do enliven the hearts and bring energy into the deflated balloons we become right after the work. the kindness of everyone to listen to us and help us create these safe, supportive, and beautiful spaces - together. these spaces of coming together, embracing our vulnerability to listen and share our stories, and collaborating to create art. - a reminder. why we do what we do. why we continue to do what we do, and push ourselves to do more than what we do. - 내가 왜 여기 있는지 다시 알려주는 사람들의 소중한 말들.
when will it come. - 일주일동안 하루종일 버스커버스커 노래들으면 다음 주에 온도는 두 숫자 자리로 올라가고 봄 바람이 불까. 싱가폴에서 느꼈던 푸른빛 가득한 따듯함이 올까. 언제 올까. 벚꽃엔딩같은 설레임 가득한 봄이 올까. 진짜 올까.
