A Caucasian woman appears on the screen and narrates her personal stories and identity as a person born in Korea. She narrates sentences that are short but revealing. Her personal stories raise a question of a conflict between her racial appearance and her declared ethnic identity. However, the truthfulness of her statements remains unknown.

Installation view at Gales Gallery, York University, Toronto, Canada
