      The theme of Gangwon Triennale 2021 is 'Warm Revitalization'. If there is any part of your participated artwork that fits these themes, please explain in detail focusing on your artwork.

      My artwork, The PLOT 11, is deeply relevant to the theme, 'Warm Revitalization'. It highlights urgent questions about food production and farming in the context of global warming and climate change. The shape of the planting is derived from asking the I-Ching a question about the future of sustainable agriculture. It is both sign and signpost to forms of cultivation that can nurture both the soil and provide food.

      If you have ever wanted to quit art, please tell us when and why. And now why do you continue your artistic activity?

      My practice is sustained by the urgencies of the present moment and the need to make space for other ways of engaging different publics and stakeholders to bring different skills and knowledges to collectively begin to address climate change. I have experienced moments when I felt like quitting but am compelled to continue by the thought of my children and future generations.
