Sorry, Sorry, 2013-2023

Strands of my hair knotted into the word
“sorry,” originally three-dimensional
and later flattened under glass in frames

2013-2023

Two strands of my hair, each knotted into the word “sorry,” are framed side by side with no gap between them. The left piece was made in 2013, the right in 2023. Originally three-dimensional, both forms were pressed flat under glass. The ten-year span between the two is made visible not by distance, but by their seamless alignment, like two frames spliced in film editing.

서로 다른 시기에 머리카락으로 제작한 두 개의 “sorry”를 유리액자로 눌러 납작하게 만들었다. 왼쪽은 2013년, 오른쪽은 2023년에 제작했으며, 두 형태는 틈 없이 나란히 배치했다. 간격 없이 밀착된 배열 속에 10년이란 시간이 있다.
