I am not stupid. I am a Korean.

A Poster of a Text-Battle Between My Professor and I

This poster was created from my personal experience when I first came to the United States for graduate school. I wanted the viewers to understand, or even imagine immigrants’ struggle with language, and to put themselves in our position. Each exhibition of the poster has gotten intimate responses from the viewers. They have expressed that the work allows them to experience my experience and to understand me and other immigrants better. Other immigrants express how much they  appreciate the work. These kinds of intimate responses are what the most persuasive graphic design is supposed to solicit. I am grateful to have connected on that level with this work.
