This work was inspired by my friend, smiling in the painting, who faced racist comments because of the strong smell of kimchi, fermented vegetables traditionally made in Korea.
While kimchi was one of the reasons she often suffered from racism and identity crisis, it was also what brought her bonding with a black friend, who lived away from his Korean mother.
