As the leader and producer of a music group, “Misikgayo (미식가요),” she connects food and music and expands this connection to represent cultural diversity. She is also engaged in art activities on environmental issues.
People and nature. Things I love. The moment when a certain note attracts me. Small variations I find in the same repeating pattern of my daily life. Or, the moment I can feel that subtle change has just happened.
A teaching artist is a person who can mingle with anyone anywhere and start a movement. The teaching artist I want to become in ten years is a type of a person who anyone can meet easily, living in somewhere close to them, and transmit the feeling of arts to them.
Full moon. It may not shine over everywhere that has no light, but it has its own place and does its own work gently and subtly.
Colleagues are those who know how to communicate well without any grand explanation. They strive to take a desirable direction when an issue or a problem is on the table. They can also distance oneself from others when there is a disagreement and recognize the differences. They are people I’m working together with here and now.
