Inspired by the complex spontaneity of memory, this presentation of soft sculptures, metal drawings-in-space, ink paintings, and soundscape, draws from an imagined archive of lived histories that traverse the distances of intergenerational time that are embodied in the meeting between material and space. Approaching the site of exhibition as a volume to sculpt with line, form, and color, Ahn evokes the construction and malleability of an experience of identity that is shaped and reshaped by subjective narratives. These narratives, expressed through dreams, myths, and anecdotes, construct the human story and ultimately forge a paradoxically visible, and yet evolving, sense of history and memory embodied in our world.
