Return of the JOGAKBO

57" x 57"        recycled fabric, dryer sheet, plastic mesh bag

The traditional Korean Jogakbo (조각보) was crafted by piecing together small scraps of fabric, each unique in color and texture, to create a functional yet beautiful wrapping cloth. These fragments, otherwise discarded, became whole, serving as protective wraps for valuables or travel essentials.

In "Return of Jogakbo," I reimagine this tradition using modern discarded materials—plastic mesh bags, dryer sheets, and more. Through these pieces, I weave a contemporary Jogakbo that pays homage to past resourcefulness while exploring new meanings of reuse, protection, and journey in today’s world.
