노루잠 “no-ru-jahm”


trans. a dreamless sleep

Primogeniture is defined by the Merriam-Webster dictionary as, “an exclusive right of inheritance belonging to the eldest son.” It is still regularly practiced in South Korea.

This collection of works revolves around my grandmother’s beautifully hand-carved, mother-of-pearl inlaid bedroom furniture set. I have been in love with it since I was a child, but now it exists as a painful reminder of my gender and its perceived limitations.
