tofu

Life in South Korea as a woman was quite different from what I had in Japan and it was quite hard for me first. Even South Korea and Japan are both Asian countries, there are big differences in their similarities. One day, a piece of tofu on a cutting board totally looked like me. It was hanging there so as not to fall down. Tofu is fragile, white and heavy. I started this project after that day to share my struggleness as a woman with someone else. Beginning of tofu series, I focused on my story only, but my interest went to others struggleness while I kept going this project. In this project, tofu is metaphorically used as someone’s heart answering for the question “What makes you have hard time?”
