This still life was constructed by rearranging furniture and store 
items from different areas of the store. The couch was in a separate location from the shelf, meanwhile the cabinet was in another aisle. This process encouraged viewer and environment interaction with curiously baffled Target shoppers.

The year that my Halmoni, my Korean Grandmother, had passed, I found myself connecting my work to her so that during the creative processes I felt closer to her. My Halmoni was born in South Korea and fell in love with an Iowan who served during the Korean War.  They moved to a farm in Iowa where one of the many crops they harvested was corn. This diptych alludes to the story of seasons and symbolically carries one that I hold near to my heart.
