Challenging and highlighting abusive power dynamics in our culture is my goal; replicating them is not.

There is something very strange and unsettling for me about making a work that doesn't fit with what's the norm or what's acceptable. There's something both liberating about it and challenging. I can imagine it doing more harm than good.

Through our interviews and research we found that the tiger, in Korean culture, is associated with bravery and power.

Employing relatives changes power dynamics.

There was a manifesto in the late '60s/early '70s, and it basically laid out what 'black art' was and that it should embrace black history and black culture. There were all these rules - I was shocked, when I found it in a book, that it even existed, that it would demarcate these artists.

I don't know how much I believe in redemptive stories, even though people want them and strive for them.
