   I am being discriminated against as a woman and as foreigner. When I think about it, I have been living with so much discrimination. The first discrimination I had in my life is about me being left-handed. Lefties in Asia are very rare. If you are a left-handed child, adults would force you to be right-handed. For that reason, I had to practice writing with my right hand as an elementary school student.
   Big and small discriminations exist in many places. Who and why do people discriminate?
   I found hints about discrimination after I read Rosi Braidotti’s ‘Post-Human’. The beginning of discrimination is to define the superiority of the difference. Thus, one way of eliminating this discrimination is to create new differences by constantly categorizing, and to ensure that the existence of many of these categories are considered the same. For example (Woman and man, Black and White, Child and Adult, Asian and Westerner, Immigrant and Native, etc.). As we continue to classify, the superiority has been lost and only its difference remains. More detailed example is that if my father and I are being categorized, then we have the difference as a 'male and female' but we have in common feature as being both 'Koreans'. We were both born in Korea, but now my dad still lives in Korea and I live in Germany. Our jobs are different, but we have the same last name.
   As such things, if differences and commonalities carry on to exist continually, the superiority will disappear. Being different is not wrong and you shouldn’t be discriminated against because of it.

I would like to express this idea as a structure.
   The constant rotation of these circles on the top represents a constant categorization. As we continue to categorize, there are some things in common and some differences. Circles sometimes overlap and sometimes do not overlap, representing these intersection. And like a Complementary of A, Union of A and B in Venn diagram.
   The shape and colour of these circles are different because I wanted to express the diverse movements of various subjects.
   I focused on this term “endless,” from the “Endless movement rotation”, and I could figure out a Pi. So I used circles as a way of expressing this endless cycle. In addition, I discovered the Venn Diagram as a visual reference. I expressed 'continuous differing’ as a round circle and its movements.
   These stones move by the rotation of the upper circle and it makes sound by the movement.
   I think meteorites and stones are like memories of nature. Piled up, or shattered, so I use it as a memory or a way of expressing myself in my work. Moreover, this stone represents every object that has been affected by sequences. The categorization makes them speak out and to be heard.
