Description

December 2011

Recently I’d received news about a relative who passed away from cancer. And for a while, I’d been fixated on the idea of dying, disease, and transcendence, which is a Buddhist concept that refers to being removed from the physical Earth, or going beyond one’s current state. I wanted to reference the human form by its removal of everything but its primary organs. The “transcended” fish forms serve as the opposing element to the organs, for the reversal of the food chain makes them dominant over the human, as well as completes the stage in transcendence in that they have been lifted.

Rest in peace, Qi Sook Goong. I grew up knowing you as a published writer, but now you’ll never even know I, too, was a bit of an artist.
