Troy (2025)

for 4 channel fixed media 

This project was created to document the time I spent with my late uncle’s family in Troy after coming to the United States for my studies. The title Troy comes from the name of the town in Michigan where they live.

Beyond a personal reflection on family and relationships, the work also evokes a sense of nostalgia for the SDA (Seventh-day Adventist) community that formed part of my early environment. As part of this, I borrowed and reinterpreted recordings from worship services at the Troy Korean Church, where my uncle’s family is involved. Through this material, I sought to metaphorically weave my feelings and reflections on faith into the piece.

This work is dedicated to my late uncle and his family in Michigan.
