Way to remember
I am a body of water, as are you, as is a river, a snow squall, a walrus, a tamarind tree. Thinking as a body of water suggests that everybody expresses the potential to push the boundaries of our conventional sense of bodies as solid, consistent subject-selves.
'Way to remember' is a zine that explores the relationship between water and memories, hence ourselves. The zine has Korean and English aligned to each other throughout the pages, with textures from cement, water drains and sewage as a visual element and page breaker. There is no destination to this discovery. It is never-ending, but a question Jiyoon wanted to ask herself and the audience.
