Song

from : South Korea

personal object : a bag

When I got an academic scholarship, I bought this bag for myself. I’m studying at an international joint school in China and the school charges a lot. I always feel sorry for my mom who pays my tuition fees. The only way I could help her was to get a scholarship, so I studied for more than 6 hours each day. I couldn’t think clearly; I couldn’t even sleep well. After getting the academic scholarship, I bought something for ‘myself’.

chosen artwork : Vogue Collage, Chicago    Harry Callahan, c.1956 (printed 1990-99)

I think this work reflects the artist’s passion – and I have studied passionately for the last year to get a scholarship. Also, I major in Communication Studies, which is about the media. When I read magazines, I sometimes want to cut out the photographs I like, put the fragments together and make my own magazine front cover.
