My inspiration for the project Steps Toward Repair came from my childhood neighborhood in Korea, Jangwi-dong. As I revisited my memories of the neighborhood with the help of Google Maps, I came upon the realization that the departure away from the Jangwi-Dong home was not a natural one but rather a painful tear, separated by both time and distance and still left unhealed. Through the project, I aimed to heal that tear by transforming the exterior and interior with fabric and bringing the Jangwi-dong home to me.
