Excerpt from artist’s Impact Statement: "What I admire most about Kim Hak-Sun is her unfaltering strength and her refusal to be defined by victimhood. She was not merely a victim of wartime atrocities; she was a pioneer in the struggle for justice, a lone voice that eventually created a chorus of calls for acknowledgement and healing."
