The Aberrant is a three dimensional paper installation that attempts to address the experience of a gyopo — a term for Korean expatriates who have been citizens in their new countries for longer than a decade.
With this work, Cat Lamora questions the affect of expatriation in Korean-Canadian gyopos selfhood, and the deafening loneliness produced by the conflict of navigating the culture one is born into versus the newly adopted. Having to lead a life of duality between two names, two cultures, and two homes, the piece seeks to express the balancing act that gyopos struggle to reconcile with.
The Aberrant as is a participating exhibition in this year’s Design TO Festival 2019. Please visit https://designto.org/ for more information!
