Picked up these two books recently, one a comprehensive survey on the histories, varieties and methods of Chinese tea, and the other a collection of essays by a Japanese tea practitioner. ๐Ÿ˜Œ Trying to patiently walk toward my dreams can be difficult sometimes given my too-intense, all-in, slightly reckless-type personality. But as a tea-drinking poet, patience is a lifestyle habit Iโ€™ve been practicing for years... Iโ€™m at least intermediate level now, so I think I can keep steady this season haha ๐Ÿ˜†
Texture on the worn down roads of Penang // a colour study?
Dad asked me what my favourite part of our travels were and I told him my favourite place in the world was where I could stand with feet in the sand, warm waves hitting my ankles. The shoreline is a place of endless emotion for me, and as I let myself brown a shade, get bitten by mozzies, tromp around in flip flops and sweat between my boobs, I felt this deep-in-my-bones joy. I wonder if this exuberance translates at all in that far cold north where I currently live, and I wonder when Iโ€™ll be here again walking the latitudes of the equator, all the humid heat in my blood. I wonder what kind of artist Iโ€™d be here, I wonder why my poetry keeps coming back to circle these landscapes, joy and grief, love and longing. I wonder if this is obsession or homecoming. I wonder in waves and tidelines and although the grounds shift under my feet, joy is constant still.

This exhibition features personal responses by Noor in lieu of artist or curator statements. This decision emerged out of our conversations on the way archive depersonalizes, objectifies, and erases. Read excerpts below and the full feature on our website! โ€ขโ€ข โ€œI think it can be hard to reconcile all the pieces of ourselves, all our thoughts and actions, and our contradictions and our inactions, into one compact person in a way thatโ€™s easy to read...โ€ This weekโ€™s artist is Paras Memon, bringing excerpts of her graphic novel, โ€œMango Seasonโ€. โ€ขโ€ข Excerpt from Noorโ€™s curatorial response: โ€œEven in these simple vignettes, when you are holding yourself in bed, the in-between space between yesterday and the potential of today, amidst the fear of misinterpretation and identity fracture lingers a forward-moving force that is presently unbeknownst to you and your reader: the flavour of mango season.โ€
On that beautiful day, a squinty-eyed snorkel lady ๐Ÿ’๐Ÿปโ€โ™€๏ธ saw sea urchins, swam with lots of fishies, waved at corals and crabs, and glimpsed a baby shark. For all those who are aware of my amphibian/fish phobias, know that I grew exponentially in character and panic control after accidentally ingesting too much seawater because I hyperventilated into my snorkel immediately upon trying to use it ๐Ÿคฃ However, after a few swallows and mental adjustments, I got along with the ocean swimmingly ๐Ÿคฆ๐Ÿปโ€โ™€๏ธ

Stumbled across the lovely little @formsocietyhk in Sham Shui Po the other day. Picked up two independent magazines and eyed some of their screenprint merch as well. ๐Ÿ˜ŒThey were also hosting a kintsugi exhibition with some beautiful little bowls. My kinda jam through and through.

second stop on january 1st morning with my dad: ์„ ์œ ๋„ไป™้Šๅณถ๊ณต์› // a hangang river filtration plant which got transformed into a park with a beautiful walkway, an outdoor theatre and arts space, a cafe and others. apparently one of the best of modern korean architecture. - beginning thoughts: to restore, renovate, refurbish. a life; is that possible. or to steer your life into something exciting. something known but unknown, or the other way around. or to enlighten what seems so overused; or rather to believe that it is very much possible. - ํ•˜๋Š˜์ด ์ฐธ ์˜ˆ์˜๋‹ค.

on the first day of twenty eighteen, my dad sent me photos from his early morning adventure to gwacheon museum of contemporary art. - on the first day of twenty nineteen, i joined my dad on his second annual adventure to the museum. we took photos with statues that should not be touched & marvelled at the blanket of clouds glistening in the clear blue sky.

01. ์ง€๊ธˆ.ZINE i started this project because i was thirsty to create and to create for myself. and i knew whatever i created had to be bilingual. korean is how i connect with myself, searching ways in the absence of a proper education. english fills in those gaps, providing formality which i had no choice but to adopt. โ€œ์—„๋งˆ์˜ ํ˜€โ€๋ผ๋Š” ์˜์–ด ๋‹จ์–ด๋Š” ์ฐธ์œผ๋กœ ๋ถˆํŽธํ•˜์ง€๋งŒ ์–ด์ฉŒ๋‹ค ๋‚˜ํ•œํ…Œ ์ œ์ผ ํŽธํ•˜๊ณ  ์†”์งํ•œ ์–ธ์–ด๋กœ ๋˜์—ˆ๋‹ค. - โ€œ์ง€๊ธˆ / jigeumโ€ = โ€œnow, currentโ€. i am committing myself to create a zine every two months or so, on whatever topic i wish to obsess about, each focusing on the present moment. - hence, the weather you hold will change.
