In the performance ‘Battered Comfort’, my sister Katharina Sook Wilting and I once again batter rice with hammers until it transforms into tteok (rice cake). 
However, this time, the performance takes place in front of an audience, emphasizing the communal aspect of the act. Together with the audience, we eat the tteok, underscoring the theme of sharing and fostering a sense of belonging.

This performance, done with my sister and with the help of my mother, serves to deepen the exploration of cultural identity, familial bonds, and the complexities of belonging. Through this iteration of the work, I aim to evoke a more immersive and interactive experience, further highlighting the themes originally explored in the film.
