"Young's Oriental Grocery"
2018
8'10" x 5"x 1'4"
materials: video, processed plywood, wall-paint
This sculpture is a conceptual recreation of the
Young's Oriental Market sign mounted on the storefront. Glimpses into the day and life of our family store is projected onto the piece. The value and meaning of the sculpture was developed in the process... Through the warm and colorful shots taken on a slow, late
summer afternoon, I wanted to create an atmosphere of nostalgia, happiness, and
simplicity. My parents and the workers are captured doing their routine
responsibilities, everyone carrying out their own tasks, which builds the character
of our environment. What does it look like to live life to the fullest and and to find joy in the fruit of
their labor?
