“아빠가 법원에서 이혼 담당 법관을 오래 하셨어요. 어렸을 때부터 ‘결혼이 네 행복의 틀은 아니다.’라고 얘기해 주시곤 했죠. 서른 살이 넘어갈 때도 저에게 결혼에 관해 압박하지 않으셨어요. 그래서인지 저도 결혼에 대한 꿈이 없었고, 그렇게 디자이너로 일하다 작가 일을 시작해서 32살에 약간 늦은 개인전 데뷔를 치뤘죠. 첫 개인전이 끝나고 철수하는 날 친구가 ‘이 사람 어때?’하면서 사진을 보여주더라고요. 가볍게 그냥 한번 만나볼까 하는 마음이 들어서, 그때 제가 살던 목동 근처 오목교역 앞에서 만나기로 했어요. 역 앞에 도착해서 그 사람이 저기 서 있는걸 보는데, 그냥 느낌이 오더라고요. 말도 아직 안 해봤는데, 저기서 저와 눈이 딱 마주치고 저를 향해서 걸어오는데, ‘아…여기 있었구나.’ 하는.”

“As a judge, my dad handled divorce cases for a long time. Since I was young, he would always say, ‘Marriage is not the foundation of happiness.’ Even after I turned 30, he didn’t pressure me about marriage at all. Naturally, I wasn’t on the lookout for someone to marry. I worked as a designer, and then debuted as an artist with my solo exhibition at the age of 32. After my exhibition was over, my friend showed me a picture and asked, ‘What do you think of this guy?’ I thought I could at least meet up with him and see what would happen, so we decided to meet at Omokgyo Station in Mokdong, near where I was living at the time. When I got to the station, I saw him standing there, and I just knew. We hadn’t even spoken to each other, but our eyes met as he was walking toward me and I thought, ‘Ah, there you were.’”

“여섯 살 된 딸이 있는데, 저와 신체 증상이 비슷해요. 제가 열이 조금 나면 아이도 나고, 제가 입술이 터지면 아이도 터져요. 서로 완전히 연결되어있다는 느낌이 들어요. 나와 정말 비슷한 작은 존재가 세상에 있다는 것. 그럴 때 ‘내가 엄마구나.’라는 느낌을 받죠.”“We have a six-year-old daughter, and her condition is always similar to mine. If I have a small fever, she does too, if my lips are dry and cracked, hers are too. It feels like we are completely connected. There is a small existence in this world who’s very similar to me. In those moments, I realize I’m a mom.”
