I’ve only visited Hoya’s church twice; and it’s surprising you see things differently depending on what is in your head! (laugh) Which that day we coincidently visited his church for him to pick up something, and the light across the back of the parking lot was stunning. Plus we were already worn out from the previous two hot (literally hot summer Tulsa..) shoots, decided to give a try. I get so excited to shoot at the strangest, unexpected places- that’s when the light works and do its thing. That’s when Holy Spirit works, right? Would love to go back. The fence, overarching old trees…
“진짜라는 단어가 내포한 유일성의 뉘앙스 때문에 ‘진짜 나’라고 하면 뭔가 똑 떨어지게 한마디로 정리되어야 할 것 같지만 복합적인 관계망 안에서 어느 위치, 어느 역할에 있느냐에 따라 조금씩 다른 내가 튀어나오게 마련이다. 그 모든 ‘나’를, 내 안에 너무 많은 ‘나’를, 그 다면성을 모두 껴안을 때 비로소 ‘진짜 나’를 설명할 수 있는 것 아닐까.”

“Because we are so used to the work ‘real me,’ it seems like the real self has to be defined in one single way. But in fact, the real self is created from different selves that exists in diverse relationships, diverse responsibilities, diverse memories from past and traumas- and more. Initially we cannot frame our real self, in one way. The only way we can genuinely be the real me, is to embrace all those many selves, then we’ll be able to explain who we really are.”
