the delicacy of the fibrous nature

Written By Okja Kwon

as I carefully untangle my past
from overtaking my present,
I am aware of the delicacy of the fibrous nature
in which it shreds,
splits,
and severs
if not tended with the utmost care and respect

Okja Kwon

Okja Kwon (b. 1981) is a Korean-born, transracial adoptee artist

who communicates through intimate illustrative image-making.

In response to one's survivalist attempts to transcend an identity historically rooted in imperialism, global capitalism, and desirability, Kwon draws upon metaphors that take ritualistic form. The enactment of "witnessing" provides a compilation of whispered ideations and fragmented (re)imagined remembrances of in-betweenness, all in an attempt to build an intuitive and otherworldly bridge to transcend blurred relations.
