Currently on the walls of my room: a small poster of Lee Seung-taek's Godret Stone (1956-1960) that Yena brought me from her most recent visit to the MMCA in Seoul, a small (2cm) plastic toy bee, Ruba Nadar's Mr. Sherif (2025), a small monoprint by Jonathan Tignor of a man floating supine in the middle of the composition—there's a moon in one corner and a sun in the other and the words “this is one future” at the top, a small dollar store mirror (distorted surface) with red-orange edges, a green collage of a leaf by Yena, an 11x14 inch pencil and pastel study of a piece of flint by my dad, a small 1980 Lee Ungno print (also a gift from Yena), a Polaroid of me and Yena in Paris, a photo of me and my brother Grey (probably around 1999) sitting on a bench with some space between us, a test print of my parents' wedding invitation (bouquet of dried flowers on a textured cream and blue surface), a photobooth print (probably from the late 80s) of my mom and dad, a small drawing of a vase of flowers by Toby Rainbird, a painting I made of Rosie from last year, a glow-in-the-dark plastic star, a watercolor on wood by Samantha Jackson, a screw with a tiny Korean fan magnet (Yena gift) stuck to its end and a broken rope bracelet (originally made by Yena's twin sister Yeji) hanging from its base, a copy of Yun Dong-ju's poem “Letter” (1941), a photo of my mom and sister Tessa on a ride at Disneyland, an earlier photo (probably around 1998) of my family at Disneyland (sans Tessa, who was not alive yet), a photo of me and Grey (probably around 2000) in oversized shoes, a photo of Tessa (probably around 2004) swinging from a rope tied to a tree.
