Excerpt from artist’s Impact Statement: "[Kim Hak-Sun’s] story taught me the importance of using my voice to strengthen the voices of those who have been silenced, and to never remain silent in the face of injustice. I have also learned that our voices, no matter how small or seemingly insignificant, have the power to create change that can ultimately reshape the world around us. Her legacy serves as a reminder that even in the darkest of times, there is always a glimmer of light, a spark of courage that can ignite a flame of change."
