Lately i've been feeling really disconnected from myself which usually results back to feeling out of touch with culture. I'm korean american but with how I was raised, I have no attachment or history with either. it makes me absolutely infuriated.
not only being korean american make me feel detached but abuse took away what I could have from me. i don't know who I am anymore
The tassles in the background are something I grew up around, they're very korean and have a symbol of their own but mean nothing to me. I only know of the hanbok but it's torn here to symbolize my lack of connection with it. Plus i'm nonbinary and the hanbok is traditionally feminine/woman which I don't identify as. The pants symbolize the american part, bell bottom pants were the only thing I kept with growing up until they went out of fashion.
the masks show identities I switch around with. Demon mask bc my mother thinks of me this way, and the jealous woman mask (right) because I'm resentful. the broken fox mask bc I don't know who I am.
