      ab: The article focuses on Lotus L. Kang’s solo exhibition "Chora" at Seoul’s Kukje Gallery, which explores diasporic identity through material and spatial forms inspired by Julia Kristeva’s concept of chora, a primordial space preceding meaning. The exhibition spans two gallery spaces: the traditional Hanok, featuring Kang’s luminogram-based works and a bronze sculpture of a crying baby bird, and the adjacent K3 gallery, housing a large steel installation called Chora Chora that encloses symbolic objects and projections related to Korean ritual practices and ancestral memory. Kang’s work reflects on lineage and inheritance not through direct narrative but via evocative material traces, emphasizing transformation and the complex interplay between past and present.
