Do you have a mantra?
One that's stuck with me since I was like, 16 is no feeling is final by Rainer. And I think that that is a mantra that I keep coming back to, because not only does it provide a sense of urgency, but also I think it like pressures you and it makes you realize that you're in a moment.
My mantra is still no feeling is final!
No feeling is final.
No feeling is final.no feeling is final

do you have a favorite piece of clothing? (could be ambiguous)
I just got a new bag from Marni. And I really like Marnie's craftsmanship, so I've been lurking on The RealReal for, like, a reasonable price. And I found one in pristine condition so I had to bite the bullet on that one.
I just purchased cashmere sweater from Theory, and I've, always wanted one from there jt because I know their quality lasts for life. And I've been wearing it nonstop. Except today I spilled beet juice on it, so that's, I guess, finally going to the dry cleaners.
Recently got into my mother’s closet and found a beautiful vintage red mon cler vest that caught my eye…Right now, I’ve been wearing a lot of adidas SuperStars.
I never wore SuperStars growing up (I wore Stan Smiths) but I get the generational obsession now.sweatpants04.
what is a recent piece of art that you’ve enjoyed?
I've been back in school full time for the first time since I was 16, and I really, like, immersed myself in it this time.
And I'm having so much fun!
And yesterday I got to study Slim Aarons. Who's this, like, beautiful photographer who captures California kind of Western glamor in these, beautiful colors.
I also have been reading Felicity by Mary Oliver for one of my performance classes and they've been really inspiring lately.
I just recently went to the Academy Museum, and it was my second time going. And there was this installation that showed every single frame of how stop motion animation works.
And it was this dark room that first starts off very slow. So you can see like the frame by frame movement, and then it speeds up and accelerates and suddenly becomes this fluid motion.
And I thought that it was a very fitting exhibit to have, because I feel like without understanding, like the true labor that goes behind the cinema, you can't fully like appreciate it. Especially like animation, which is so tedious.Loved the Anyma visuals at the Sphere. Shoutout Fia my friend who contributed! Its always fun to see your friends work go viral.
I’ve been reading Just Kids and it’s something I’ve put off for years because I knew it’d hit me. I wasn’t wrong.

Where are you from, and where are you now?
I was born in Seoul, South Korea, and would say I mainly grew up there for the first, like ten years of my life, on and off.
And then I spent the rest growing up in the San Francisco Bay area, and now I'm in Los Angeles after being in New York and whatnot for a little bit.
I am in Los Angeles!I am in my hometown, San Ramon, for the holidays.
I am back in Los Angeles!

If you had to choose an object to describe yourself, what would it be?
This summer, I really got into stress things. Stress balls, I guess... And
I dragged my boyfriend to this toy store in Wyoming, and he got me an ice cube. And it's a squishy.
And I really just feel like this most of the time.
You have to get one of these, like, off the record. (designers edit: i tried my friends and it was addicting) So it's like slime. It doesn't move like you squeeze it and it's just like, oh, I don't know it. It's like a gel inside.
So I would say I feel like a Needoh ice cube. Not sponsored! ... So dumb haha.
I want to say maybe, a bezel set diamond because I've been studying jewelry, composition and hardware a lot this past month, and I think that a bezel, diamonds, bezel setting in general, I think is very classic. But at the same time, I don't think it's a shape that people go for most of the time.
And that's kind of how I, feel with the way like my life is kind of expanding is I feel like I've, I've chosen a path less traveled, but in that way it's still something like really great and solely mine. So in that way, I guess I could be comparable to a diamond. Been loving pomegranates.
A real hassle to get to the good stuff, but once you try you can’t really find it anywhere else?
I’m gonna go with paper mache. Kind of messy, kind of fun, kind of interpretative if you take the time to get to know it.popsocket

what would you title this stage of your life?
Thinking about it through building furniture, I would think that I'm at the part where, I'm at the hardware store and I'm trying to see what works and what's not working. Yeah.
I still feel like this is, I still want to say this is like the Pilot. I kind of feel like I'm wondering if it's going to take off or not, like the different avenues that I'm exploring.
Man… there used to be a korean saying of like, “it only hurts because you’re in your twenties (청춘이니까 아프다)”... maybe something of that short
Gosh… to be honest, “Diva Down,” or something of that sort.refresh

what’s something new that you learned about yourself recently?
Honestly, recently I realized that I have an interest in jewelry design, but not so much doing the designing myself, but more so like studying the designs of other artists.
And I've been spending time studying, retro clasp shapes and a lot of, like, hardware and lab grown diamond lor -- sorry not lore, knowledge, so that has definitely been a surprise because I never thought I would be interested in actually what goes into producing that art. I just thought that I would be a consumer.
I think I am not as good as I think I am. Coming to terms with the fact that I'm no longer a child. Largely I am at fault, though, because I feel like I rile myself up.
I think im starting to be okay with not being liked
I’m irreplaceable.i am great on my own

current favorite flower?
I love this question! I've been really into calla lilies.
calla lilies!
Peonies right now
I’ve been loving pincushion proteas. Any kind of protea flowers are sensual and my favorites, but the pincushion ones remind me of marine life.

what is something that youre looking forward to?
Something I'm looking forward to would have to be seeing my parents, honestly, for Thanksgiving in a couple of weeks, because I haven't seen them in a minute.Something I'm looking forward to is this school semester being over. I just re-enrolled in school this January and I've been loving it. But I also am feeling extremely ready for a little bit of like, rest.
Honestly, for my period to be over.
I’m looking forward to springtime.seeing my mom for her birthday11.
what is something that you admire about a friend? what is it that you admire about them?
I just talked to my friend Vivian, who moved to Paris, and, she, like, worked Paris fashion week and stuff. And we finally got to catch up. And I really, honestly admire her strength in in tackling all that change with, like, grace and elegance, which I feel like I am not always doing that when it comes to change. So Vivian probably.
Actually, I'm sorry. I was, like, trying to think of a good one. I mean, they're all good, but if I had to pick one, I do admire my friend Ashley!
She
just enrolled in grad school, and I think it's really admirable to see her go back to higher education after, having worked a couple of years.
And, it's really cool to see, I think when people go from working every day into spending that money to learn something, I feel like you can really witness like a change in mindset or priority. So, big kudos to ash!
I recently reconnected with my friend Chloe and something I found myself really gravitating towards her was her bluntness with what may stay and what may not in her life. Her grace yet wit in handling change has inspired me to be similar.
I really admire my friend Chloe in the ways she has embraced her heartbreak and transition with grace, humility, and humor.
leena’s ability to be vulnerable with me. i love her cautiousness to protect herself unless at the mercy of someone warm.12.
what does the word ‘change’ mean to you?
I think change could either mean regression or progress. And I guess it just kind of matters in whether you take it in like a positive or negative context. So like movement, I guess any kind of movement.
I'm going to go with movement. Yeah. Movement.movement.Change to me means discomfort.unlearning idleness

what would be the soundtrack to your life at the moment or a song youve been enjoying?
I'm going to go with Pure Heroine just because it's like one of my top three albums since that came out. But also like, I feel like that album embodies feeling very lost and seeking for something.
And you're not exactly sure what it is that you want. And I think that that's a feeling that a lot of people in their early 20s can relate to.
I'm going to say Hijack by, A$AP.
A lot of Al Green– right now, Love and Happiness
Track 10 by Charli XCX

what’s your current favorite emoji?
I would think that's my most used, which I feel like is a red heart. Yeah, it's a red heart...
But that's not my favorite ... Okay, wait. Scratch all of that. That’s chicken shit.
Oh. I've been using the eye rolling emoji a lot. Like the one where they, like, look at the ceiling. Yeah, I don't know. I get annoyed a lot.🙄
🙃
I feel like I've been using the, the the like sideways laughing emoji with the. It's like the normal laughing emoji. It's slightly like 45 degrees tilted to the side. I think it's like kind of condescending when you say something kind of out of pocket, but you want to, like, preface that you're aware that it's out of pocket. Maybe the white heart? Ive been trying to stay neutral when sending hearts for no specific reason at all)🤍
😘(It would have to be the kissy emoji. Very backhanded.)

what motivates you?
I think a lot of artists that are prevalent in, like, the social sphere right now, and a lot that comes to mind would be like Peter Ackerman or like Gabriella Hughes.
Honestly, like a lot of magazines, most of the time, like, Will Welch... like all the all the goats.I think my family and loved ones motivate me.
I think other artists and creatives and their work motivate me. Most of the time I feel very inspired by what's in the news. And I think, like, how journalists are writing about the news because I feel like it's a very big indication of our culture.Good hearted people with niche interests.
My haters. And the imagination of them talking shit about me to their families who could never understand me. That really gets me out of bed; spite.
