DOES HOME CONSTITUTE A GEOGRAPHICAL LOCATION?
I argue the concept of diaspora offers a critique of discourses of fixed origins, while taking account of a homing desire which is not the same thing as desire for a “homeland.” This distinction is important, not least because not all diaspora sustain an ideology of “return” (Brah 180).
The 3D animation acts as a digital love letter to my parents, visually capturing the miscommunication that occurs within South Korean parents and their children.
