I got on the bus
He gave me a bouquet.. a brown paper bouquet
I looked inside
The bouquet was full of dried flowers
I dropped one stem at a time
One.. by one… onto the floor
I was soon covered with flowers
Fallen petals and leaves covered my body and the floor
I found one fresh bright pink flower
Oh, it was so alive that it looked as if it were dancing
I opened my eyes…
It was you.
Korean women dream symbolic dreams about the children they are about to have. My birth dream story inspired me and became the base of my collection.
I wanted to deliver the dramatic imagery in a sustainable way- minimizing off cuts by puzzle-like pattern cutting, using 100% biodegradable materials such as washable Kraft paper, press-dried flowers, Hanji, Bio-resin, and Korean silks for dressing the deceased.
