Jiyeun Kang, illustrator

“For an illustration class taught by Steve Brodner. He presented a Washington Post article about Black hockey players, and it gave me an idea to show the common connection between humans. To depict this, I removed all the colors except for the red of the glove, which represents sportsmanship. Actually, such connection is essential in our daily lives. Here in Korea, many people are also discriminated against for their weaknesses, skin color and even their jobs. As an illustrator, I am usually ridiculed for the uselessness of illustration. But illustration has the power to remind people of our essential humanity.”
