    Statement of Work

    I am a transplant from the Mid-Atlantic area to the Mid-South, and before that, I was initially an immigrant from Daegu, South Korea to Hyattsville, MD, in the United States. The intersections, or rather, points of location, cultures, peoples, and overall geography of my life experiences, all blend and diverge as both points in common and uncommon to each other. My work regards place as contributing to identity, in addition to the accumulated artifacts that serve as visible reminders of these varied experiences. Traversing these markers through juxtaposing and layering these places and artifacts reflects the in-between spaces where Haelim Choi Allen dwells.
