SENA PARK

My idea started from a fantasy of an untouched land, Mongolia, where I had never been or experienced. As a foreigner or visitor, I ask myself, how much will you be able to understand local cultures and adapt their culture?

​

I am interested in the natural environment and Mongolian people’s lifestyle. However, my curiosity for the natural environment is juxtaposed with my longing for city life and connections with people.

​

This idea and my works were inspired by my family’s settlement in New Zealand as immigrants. My work represents how much I understand and adapt their culture in my way. And it is about newly created culture, or culture diluted by cross culture with limited understanding and little knowledge.
