This is an art project that started from almost nothing. When I started to live in a foreign language (French), I transcribed selected passages from texts that I read in a small sheet of paper. Because this language was really different from my mother tongue (Korean), it was necessary to find the way to really understand the meaning of words and sentences. I have arranged them (citation cards) by alphabetical order of the keywords in a box and I built my linguistic archives like a private dictionary. 

After some years, I had to start regularly destroying the citation cards because it was not possible to keep everything. I folded a citation card and transformed it into a module. This was a transformation between a linguistic system and an art system and I invented many ways of building shapes, colors and gestes around this module. 

Especially during the confinement, I was able to develop particular artistic practices which show a transition between drawing, painting, sculpture and writing with performance from this module. “Vers à soi” is a project that can be developed also into a participatory and digital project according to current conditions. How can we construct ourself? How and what can we share between us? These are also important questions behind this project. And I am developing many ways with this project to contribute to share my experience with various people.
