“I AM 이방인” 이방인 means 'The stranger' The concept of my project is me in the UK. I was born in South Korea and lived there until I was 18, and I came to the UK to study my degree. I always lived in the same race, nationality, and language, and I lived in a situation where I was a majority. Now I have become a minority. I have realised a massive gap between living as the majority and the minority throughout my life. The day I was racially discriminated against walking down the street ruined my whole day, and I was filled with anger and anxiety in my heart. Also, living in an environment without family or friends created much loneliness. There are many difficulties for me living in England, but working with knitting has given me much vitality. So, I wanted to express the depressed feelings of anger, anxiety, and loneliness that I feel like a minority through my graduation collection with textural knit, helping me find happiness.
