[Bridge 2] Response to the workshop
Getting to read two of the others’ works was even better than the same process we went through with Bridge 1.

[Bridge 2] Concepts behind

[Bridge 1] I Remember – 1st Draft
Seoul I remember the voices of the girls who sat behind me and always chatted about how everyone else looked. They lowered their voice and chuckled over the thick legs of another girl, over the dirty collar of a boy in their Math class and over the weird lip color that our English teacher wore on that […]
+ Met Breuer Museum
It wasn’t only the “Unfinished: Thoughts Left Visible” at the Met Breuer Museum – the exhibition of Diane Arbus was also very interesting, but definitely the unfinished one was much more impressive. It was my first time to see the unfinished versions of artworks by preeminent artists, and it was so hard to pick just […]
