Hyangsu "향수"
The word ‘향수’ or ‘Hyangsu’ means ‘nostalgia’. In this 2 minute animation, I try to provide my attempts at digesting the complex ‘roots’ of my Korean identity as a British Korean person. The animation is based on a 40 minute conversation between myself and my best friend where we talk about our experiences of: what it means to be ‘Korean’ and ‘British’, the idea of ‘home’, feelings of ‘in-betweenness’ and wayfaring, how learning the Korean language provided a sense of connection to our heritage.
