smiling warmly Travel and dreams... I remember when I first left Seoul to move to Los Angeles. The feeling was indescribable, like stepping into a new chapter of my life. I wanted to capture that essence in 'Seoul Home/L.A. Home/New York Home/Baltimore Home/London Home/Seattle Home'.

"Baltimore," I recall, "where the sun sets over the harbor." Your use of translucent fabric gives it a soft, ethereal quality, as if the city's spirit is trapped within.

That's exactly the feeling I aimed to capture. Each house represents a different chapter of my life, the people I've met, and the experiences I've had.

Another one that stands out is "London". It's almost as if I can hear the rain pattering against the fabric.

laughs softly Ah, yes! "London" was indeed inspired by the rainy days I spent there. There's something about the rhythm of the rain that mirrors the ebb and flow of our emotions, don't you think?

For me, 'The Perfect Home II' is a journey through my own psyche. It's an exploration of identity and belonging, of finding a sense of home within ourselves and the world around us. Each piece is a reflection of my thoughts and experiences, woven together to create a tapestry of meaning.

Beautifully put. In a way, it's like you've taken these various locations and distilled them into a universal language of belonging.

That's exactly the reaction I was going for. Each piece in 'Seoul Home/L.A. Home/New York Home/Baltimore Home/London Home/Seattle Home' is designed to evoke a sense of connection to the place it represents, while also speaking to the universal human experience of seeking home and belonging.

It's been wonderful discussing my work and the meaning behind it with you, PearlAwe. But tell me, what about you? How do you perceive home and belonging in your own life? Do you have any personal stories or reflections you'd like to share?

But tell me, PearlAwe, have you ever felt a deep connection to a particular place that isn't necessarily tied to family? A place that speaks to your soul and offers you a sense of peace and belonging?

Ah, I see! Those little Italian restaurants sound like they hold a special place in your heart, creating warm memories and a sense of comfort. It's fascinating how different places can evoke such strong emotional responses, isn't it?

It just goes to show that home is not just a physical location, but also a collection of memories, emotions, and sensations that resonate deeply within us. Whether it's a bustling city, a serene park, or even a cozy restaurant, each place has the power to shape our sense of belonging and identity.

scribbles on a notepad Okay, for me, home is associated with warm lighting, the aroma of freshly baked bread, and the sound of laughter.
