Aloha to Korea

This collection started from my personal story about immigrants. I am an immigrant from Korea to Hawaii, and I felt being an immigrant was mixing cultures. So I wanted to express the mixing of Korean and Hawaiian cultures that I learn, know, and love; like colors, flowers, hibiscus, landscape, arts, and traditions.
