I and Sung Min Lee were in the same studio residency at Chashama studios, and now we have begun good friends through art, and conversation. She has been creating installations for few years now. This project, "Connected"  was researched, and developed by taking photos of strangers' belly buttons around New York City specifically tourists, and locals at Washington Square Park. She has shown at Space Womb Contemporary Art Gallery which is located across the street from the MOMA PS 1.

Summer is here, and its taking me over.
