My first ever blackout poem, published in Acta Victoriana back in January 2015. 😬
“But what is memory if not the language of feeling, a dictionary of faces and days and smells which repeat themselves like the verbs and adjectives in a speech, sneaking in behind the thing itself, into the pure present, making us sad or teaching us vicariously...” #juliecortazar
Strangely, today amidst my happiness I thought of you for a moment and felt a twinge of guilt that life flows on and I can gather in abundance even though I also hold you, my strange and lovely void. I am still trying to untangle the words I want to give you so be patient with me. In the meantime, since I am still a sojourner, may I love the things I love more fiercely because I knew you. May I laugh more carefree and protect more firmly with your uncertain smile and delighted laugh in my heart. I hear it is world suicide prevention day today so I am writing this for you, but every day, may I stand in the way of someone else and their despair, whatever that may look like. May I forgive myself more so I can hold the world like a peach bruised in my palms. May my words echo with the life of hope you lived while in my vicinity. I hear you still, singing your heart. May we sing together again some day; whole and full.

homecoming.
我想綻放的季節必然結束。我想芬芳是一種過度期。我願停下腳步見證塵埃落定。我願意。我願意。 // I gather that blooming season must end. I figure the scent of flowers is a way of coping. I am willing to bear witness to dust settling. I am willing. I am.
following the lights on to the next door, to beyond the door, from frame to frame.
Starting “單獨 / Sunfish”, a new weekly zine series about my time in Singapore, running from now till the end of December. Will be releasing via my tinyletter so if you’re interested, sign up at the link in bio 🌸

snippets. 어제를 살아봤다고 오늘도 아는게 아니니깐. - 1) scenes of korea: hanok village by an artist who told me comforting words when everyone questioned my choices; my dream place for a break by an artist who came here for the first time; familiar landscapes by me. - 2) two years of promise that finally came true. holding my biggest burden and my dearest love. - 3) learning the beauty of our hands, molding earth, building strength with air and water. recognizing imperfections and anticipations. and remembering to breathe. - 천천히. 숨 크게 쉬고. 차근차근.
this summer. - • 생각이 많아지면 만들고 쓰고 그리는 것이 힘들어진다. 몇년동안 시간 낭비라는 드라마는 바쁜 머리의 휴식을 위한 필수품이 되었다. • 우리는 수 많은 감정을 꾹꾹 눌러 참고 산다. 누구나 가족에 대한 아픔이 있다. • 나를 위한 누군가의 귀 하나만 있어도 위로가 된다. 친구들한테 그 하나의 귀가 되자. • 답답한 마음은 솔직하지 못해서다. 제일 힘든건 나의 진심을 깨닫고 나한테 솔직해지는 거다. • 사람을 많이 만나고 한 번쯤은 울어야지 내가 필요한 사람이 누군지 알게된다. • 몸을 열심히 챙기면 평생갈것같은 두통도 사라진다. 이제 어리다는건 핑계 뿐이다. 진짜 좀 신경 써야지. - i need to practice writing more in english. or feeling more comfortable with the language, despite being more fluent in it. but also this won’t convey what i want if i wrote in english. - 1) watching my friend’s film during work break. 2) walking somewhere. 3) chilling at the park after eating so much. 4) driving somewhere. - 잠깐 쉬고 갈게요.
this summer. - “힘들다고 생각할 때, 한발자국 더 나가야 된다” 마치 지금 나한테 하는 말 같았다. - photo by jing.
// from summer twenty sixteen - “모두들 자신을 어떻게 돌보며 살아가고 있는 걸까.” from 이랑’s [대체 뭐하자는 인간인지 싶었다] - 힘들고 피곤하고 나도 모르게 눈물이 흐르고 짜증이나고 화날때 다들 어떻게 자신을 보살피나 - 나를 챙겨줬던 사람을 떠나보내면 나는 어떻게 하나
roaming around the city in the heat with no particular destination other than finding good lemonade. because jasmine spoiled us with good lemonade in singapore. - also on that day, i became a flower. 花, 鼻, 하나
first morning of a short escape from work was being on a work conference call at a pretty cafe with cold cucumber soup. - 어디로 여행을 가든 로컬 인디카페는 당연한 일정이다. 나의 미래의 카페를 상상하며, 나는 사람들이 편히 쉬고 일할 수 있는, 그림과 식물들로 꾸며진, 오이 들어간 음식은 1도 없는 카페를 꿈꾼다. - photo @ayebbey
// from summer twenty seventeen. - i forget how much my being. my presence. my story. means to those who i never had the chance to spend time with. never had the chance to give back. - 그때 엄마가 친할머니랑 바빠, 나는 할 수 없이 시끄러운 아저씨들이 첫 여성 외교부 장관이될 분한테 계속 떠드는 뉴스를 봐야했다. when i was stuck at grandma’s place watching unnecessarily loud and rude men questioning a woman who would soon become the first female foreign minister.
burden(some) // what burdens do you carry from your family, your cultural history, your lived experiences? - much love to @artstartsto for believing in this project that @ayebbey and i have been holding dearly in our hearts for awhile. - we hope to create more safe and welcoming spaces like these. where we can open ourselves to each other. where we can lend our ears to each other. - first photo by @jingdraws.
burden(some) // our stories and experiences became beautiful clay tiles which, together, became even beautiful art. - many people have commented on how everyone’s tiles are so unique despite all of us having shared the same spaces. but despite collaborating together to reimagine our burdens, we all hold unique stories and experiences. - first & last photo by @jingdraws. (seeing myself in jing’s photos have been helping me feel okay with being on camera.)
