“I remember, therefore I am” © 2026, Soomi Park

This piece explores how memories shape our identity and guide us through uncertainty. Although the future remains unknown, the experiences we carry from the past stay within us, quietly influencing who we become. Moments that once felt ordinary or difficult gain new meaning over time, often becoming sources of strength and hope. Through this work, I wanted to express the idea that hope may not come from what lies ahead, but from the memories and experiences we have carried with us all along.

 I am Soomi Park, a high school student from South Korea with an interest in art and design. Through my work, I explore themes of memory, identity, and human experience. I hope to continue studying design and creating meaningful visual stories in the future.
