The collaborative project, My Seeking Gut, a contemporary translation of a Korean cleansing ritual (with Dean Moss and Soojung Chae), was showcased during a visiting artist residency at Wesleyan University’s Center for the Arts, September 25–27, 2026. The book proposal about My Seekng Gut has been accepted by Wesleyan University Press, where the book is now in development.

my seeking gut is uniquely emergent, liminal, and relational. It unfolds through transcultural and transdisciplinary dialogue, constantly generating questions and relations across past / present, local / global, self / other, presence / absence, body / technology, material / immaterial, and grief / hope.

Movement intertwined with fabric, Korean ritual acts and singing, ontological questions surrounding the technical apparatus, and layers of mixed realities are brought together in an ongoing conversation around healing—one that is ritualistic, participatory, and communal. The work grounds itself in a visceral recognition of personal and societal trauma and suffering, while approaching hope with humility. It becomes a collective ritual of witnessing, remembering, releasing, and ultimately cleansing.
