Each arch, consisting of truncated pyramid forms, witnesses each survivor\u2019s painful and unbearable memory of the abuse they suffered.<\/em><\/p>\n “We, Survivors” I investigated extreme Diaspora experience of Korean Comfort Women. During World War II, 200,000 young women were recruited and forced into sexual slavery in Japan’s military brothels in Asia. The abuse of comfort women has proved a painful and unbearable memory. It was 1990 when the first South Korean women lifted the veil of shame and requested a formal apology and compensation for the thousands of women affected by the Japanese government. Today only over 50 of the 239 women who publicly acknowledged their experiences are alive in Korea. The portraits of the 50 survivors and their testimonies are incorporated into silk organza boxes to express symbolic sympathy for their suffering.\u00a0The portraits of the Comfort Women survivors (military sexual slavery by Japan) provided by the Korean Council for Women Drafted for Military Sexual Slavery by Japan.<\/em><\/p>\n <\/p>\n \u00a0<\/b><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" June 5 – August 4, 2017 \u201cMisplaced\u201d Installation of mixed media by Eun Kyung Suh Silent Scream (2015) Silk organza, printed text, cotton thread Dimension variable Description:\u00a0Seven comfort women survivors\u2019 testimonies were projected on the inner faces of silk organza.
