For the writing this fortnight, I am sharing a slice of our personal journey, as we open a new studio and public cafe/event space here in Daejeon, Korea. The writing is sprinkled with drawings. These are early pencil sketches from the process of imagining what a space, built with the help of broken shipping pallets that we routinely saw thrown out on the streets here, might look like.
This was lovely to read! It also gave me a lot of encouragement to keep believing in my "truth" and pushing myself in that direction. It's so true that the current society teaches us to value or prioritize profits and equalize success with measurable outcomes. I struggle with the same thoughts, and there's still a lot of unlearning and relearning to do, but seeing you and Suhee work towards your own truths has always been a beacon of light for me. Thank you for being where you are and sharing your journey with the world!
I love this vision and I so enjoyed being part of your cafe/performance space/gallery in Japan. I can imagine myself creating something like that, some day.

Nicely written Pat.
