Mamita's Kappogi



I made this piece for the Young Women's Caucus Apron Show. This little apron packs a lot of memories. It's embellished with passages from mom's letters and postcards. On the pocket, a little card with a very un-momlike formal congratulations on my engagement. The only English letter that's on this apron is her description of all the types of animal excrements she encountered in Burma. The rest are in Japanese: snippets of important milestones and events.
