“I needed a method of communication that transcended emails and letters, something that allowed me to make connections with loved ones who have passed or generations yet to come. To feel seen without being burdened by responsibility and reveal the innermost corners of my heart without opening myself to vulnerability….”

“I started my career as a fashion designer and have exhibited artwork about women at the medical center of my alma mater, Ewha Woman's University, in Seoul for seven months to support women's cancer efforts. Along my journey. My work has undergone many evolutions over the years, but a theme that often resurfaces is feminine identity. I always come back to painting women, not only to celebrate them but also as a means of exploring this aspect of myself.” - June Yun

“What is homesickness like when you have many homes? It is a displacement of the body, mind, and heart and a yearning to be in one place when you are in another. Or perhaps, more strangely, a wish to be in many places at the same time. When I first immigrated to the US from Korea, I always longed to be back in my hometown of Seoul, but now, thirty years later, I find myself missing Washington’s cityscape when I travel to Seoul, and desiring to combine both cities that now reside in my heart. You learn to live telescopically, loving one place while your feet are in another, or flying to one destination while your eyes are looking in another, cardinal direction, before realizing, amidst all this back and forth, near-far sickness, that you need to redefine what you understand to be “home”.
