Without Waiting for June 23


Collage, 2015

Reflection on the circumstances of my creation.  Out of monstrosity, death, subjugation, sacrifice, I was born into the eternally festive place of the Ryukyu Island.  A contradicting being created by the fightings of world power.  Identity of self that cannot be defined by the current imagined borders.  Where do I come from? Where do I go?
