Soojin Choi’s ceramic sculptures use tangled body parts to draw attention to the otherness found as a foreigner, and her unresolved nature of finding a “home”. Always highlighting exactly two consciouses in each artwork, she weaves the limbs together so it is often impossible to find where one body ends and other begins.
Choi was quoted by the New York Times saying, “I believe we can read each other more clearly through body language, especially because I’m always thinking and speaking in two different languages, and not perfectly in either one. In some ways, I feel like a foreigner in both Korea and America now — but at the same time, I feel more empathetic for the differences between the countries, too.’”
