Remnants, STOA Cultural Centre

Remnants is a commemoration flag to the Atlanta Spa Shooting, March 16, 2021. Eight people were fatally shot, six of whom were Asian women, and one other person was wounded. This mass shooting results from the racialized misogyny that has been long directed towards Asian women.

The bedsheets are handsewn in a Korean patchwork jogakbo technique and dyed with natural ingredients. The flag will lose its color while hoisted on the outdoor flagpole. However, there will be remnants of the colors. This flag is to remember the lives that have once existed and what they have left behind.
