Baby Claire

Now Claire

 My childhood was full of happiness. My parents are really generous, kind and nice. We weren’t rich but I feel happiness is more than being rich. I was a little tomboy girl, and always received full of parent’s love. However, when my brother was born, many things changed.

 I was five years old at that time, and I needed more love and attention from my parents. They still gave me love and attention but I didn’t know how, so I hated my brother a lot, and my parents were worried about that.

 In Korea, there’s a notion of preferring a son to a daughter and my parents didn’t prefer son to daughter, but my grandparents did preferred son. They discriminated against daughters, and it was really hurtful for me. I hated my brother more than before when my grandparents acted like that. It was really terrible because I always felt like I’m not the one of my family. I was childish and immature. I had own my room, separated from my parents very fast. So I’m getting more independent person. Now, I can do everything own myself. It’s really good for me I think.

 Later, I knew that was just my stereotype. My grandparents also love me a lot and they just hope me to be more independent. That’s why they were very strict to me. Now, they are very soft and warm, and my brother and I also have a good relationship. I was immature but I am not immature anymore. I hated my brother, not anymore. I love my brother, my family so much.

 It was so nice time. We spent lovely time and I thought my past, my childhood. I feel many things … beautiful time. Thank you.

 I remember my childhood was both happy and terrible. When I was a baby, my parents didn’t have a lot of money. But I was happy. I think that real happiness isn’t about money, but people’s feelings and experiences. My family was happy. Though we only had one room in my house, we didn’t feel hungry and cold. Because we shared everything, food, money, etc. Also, we slept together in a room. But, it caused one mistake. I became shy and weak. So my father told me “you should learn some sports or exercises”. After, I learned Tae-kwon-do for 2 years. So now, we are living in an apartment which has three rooms and we are warm in the house. Also, I’m not shy and weak anymore. I become strong man for sports. I have more confidence than before.

 Although I am far away from my family now, I still have strong feelings from my parents’ love.

Actually, I can’t remember my childhood. According to my mother’s explanation, I was an active child. It’s my good memories. As I see my past picture, I can remember. So, my past affect me of present. I have been changing, naturally. So I can’t guess that but, not too much. As a result, my character hasn’t changed since. Of course, my appearance has changed a little. I made project as concept of naked body. In This picture, I was eight months. I was in bath. I looked clam. At that time I might have prepared shower. My father took picture of me. It was so interesting because, I could back to the future even if, it was not real. I would try to take off clothing but, I couldn’t take off my pants because that would be terrible. This picture was taken by my friend, Faton. We were so tired to get it, because my bathroom was so small. On the other hands, I grown too much compared with when I was baby. To make position and composition were so difficult. I felt I have been changing many things of me. When I was in bath, it seemed that back to the baby who has innocence. Obviously, It must have been great challenge for me.

Back to the Future

   When I recalled the memory of my childhood, it seems that I never focused on the reality. I had a lot of imagination in my mind and I lived in that.

 

    I think I was my every teacher's problem. I seldom handed out the homework and listened to the class. I was late for school almost everyday. My score of tests was always terrible. No matter how many times teachers warned me or punished me, I never changed. But that doesn’t mean I was a bad girl. I was a quiet, shy and sweet girl. I was just stubborn. I questioned the order and refused to do the thing I didn’t totally understand. Because there were too many things I didn’t understand when I was a child, I chose to do things in my own way, the way I could understand but not for others.

  

     Fortunately, I have a great mom who always trusts me, even though she couldn’t understand what I was doing. For example, she helped me skipping the class if I didn’t want to go. She let me use markers to draw on every furniture and wall. She let me play outside all day without curfew. Because of that, I am not afraid of making mistake. I like challenge, solving problems and creating new idea. I think that is the important part causes the person who I am now.

It’s funny, because today you have a lot of things to do, and these things ‘steal’ all your time, and you forget or don’t have time to remember about your childhood, or how that time was happy and important to you, and all the history behind your life. When you find some old pictures or photographs, sometimes you stop your present life and start thinking about that picture, that moment and how those moments were good, bad, sad or happy. In this case, my old photograph can tell me a lot of ‘information’, because always I was a happy, hungry and destructive child. In my teenage years I continued the same with the ‘little boy’ inside, but taller outside. Today, I’m 25 years old, a lot of things changed, I grew up and now I can't be a child all the time, or play jokes like one, but I don't miss my child 'inside' me. This project was good, because I can revive some 'forgotten memories', and play with these moments, and today I know how these moments have been amazing and helped me to be who I am and try to make a good future for me.

Evandro Hoepers - THE BACK TO FUTURE

   Our childhood is awesome, the best time of your life, the time witch our most concern is what kind of play I will do now. When I was a kid I used to play all day long in the backyard with my friends or alone, my imagination could take me everywhere at any time and I could feel every thing. I could change my name and be the Bruce Willis in Die Hard driving my little cars between gorges, jump rivers and blast every thing and it was so good. Each play and each imagination have done I grown and develop my mind.THE BACK TO THE FUTURE made I feel my childhood again, sometimes we need to see some pictures from the past and back to our roots.

It is more than it seems

What I try to do every time I face a problem, an

issue or unusual situation, is not to judge

instantly what I'm seeing. It is a way to not see

things just on the surface, and get to the real

reasons and consequences of them. This picture

shows one simple daily act of throwing something in

the trash. But is it that simple? Even with a clear

sign saying "Paper Recycling" on the box right next

to the regular trash bin, people still opt to throw

paper in the wrong place. Recycling is one of the

biggest environmental issues and it can make life

easier and better now and mostly in the future. But

we still don't care about it, we still don't change

our habits and most of the time we're not educated

to do so. People still throw their paper in the

trash, but for me, this is more than it seems.

But inside, it doesn't matter

  In the world normally men don’t wear skirts. If a man wears a skirt, maybe many people will say that the man is crazy! I know that this is a typical situation. Everyone knows this is true. This is like a custom. There is a secret rule that men shouldn’t wear skirts. I want to break this custom hard. I want to imagine that I can  wear a skirt. Maybe many people would criticize me, but I don’t mind. My inside is so brave and strong. My inside can stand any pain. Although they will mock  me, I will just keep going as I want. That is the reason why this is my mantra!

kitty's mantra

Whatever you think will become true.

 

 The picture was taken by my co-worker when I was working as a light controller.

  I love colourful things. When I am watching a performance, I always focus on the light. The light can make the emotion of the performance so powerful, and the light can make me drunk. But I just love it, I never thought about doing that by myself.

  By coincidence, I was trained by my school to become a volunteer for light control. Although the process of training and work were difficult and hard, I really enjoyed that experience. Because I felt the joy of my dream come true.

  The picture shows that I can create a big stage with a little controller. The little controller is just like my mind. So I believe that you should enjoy the things you love and always keep them in your mind, then something will happen in a magical way that you can never predict.
