Bapsang (밥상) (Korean: set dinner table) 

My Body of Work explores the intersection of culture, memory and identity through the depiction of a Korean family dinner. Considering the world, the shared meal reflects domestic ritual as a site of cultural transmission, where food becomes a language connecting generations. Through the audience's engagement, viewers are invited to reflect on their own familial traditions and the universal role food plays in constructing belonging. As the artist, I drew on personal experience, applying the cultural frame to explore how Korean identity is sustained through everyday practice, positioning the dinner table as both intimate and symbolic of cultural continuity within the diaspora.
