Wandering Still




          Gesture becomes habit, habit forms attitude, attitude creates ritual, ritual defines identity,
and identity becomes gesture.

          I remember certain scenes of growing up in a Korean traditional house:  Hearing the footsteps
followed by the paper screen door sliding to reveal the space beyond, catching shadows moving on the
screen door, and smelling the scent of paper floor permeating the room.  These subtle gestures of daily
ritual have nurtured my imagination and curiosity.

          Creativity is a process of discovery, discovering the traces of my memory.  Memory is not what I
remember seeing but how my body remembers moving through spaces.  The motion of walking, turning,
and looking through the layers of the steel fences and steel bands creates a constant shift in
perspectives and perpetual desire to follow the path.  The experience of passing through keeps my
curiosity in chasing after the end of the rainbow.

          As a child, I would spend countless hours looking up in the sky and wondering about the world that
exists beyond the clouds.  Now days, I find myself writing passages of thoughts at airports.  Like the blue
sky, clarity of thought comes over me and I am compelled to record this unaccountable time in transit.

It is not the final destination but the process of getting there.
