Tiger Woman
A piece done for Slant’d in their latest 2026 literary mag publication, Lore.
Inspired by a section of the ungnyeo/dangun story. The bear and the tiger eating mugwort and garlic to become human; the bear succeeded and the tiger failed… I wanted to visualize a narrative “what-if” to tell a story on the extinct Korean tiger and a relation to colonialism, imperialism/capitalism, national mythos, and a lot more than I can fit in one description (frankly more than I could possibly fit in one art piece!)
