Book I : Tofu Monologue - Spiritual Consciousness in the Times of Violence
Project “Tofu and Violence” aimed to use tofu as a metaphor for gentleness and nonviolence. This book collection documents the project.
Book 1 features a series of paintings inspired by tofu, a symbol of a gentle and unspoken power against violence.

By juxtaposing these two extremes, I invite viewers to contemplate the relationship between them.

I gave a brick of tofu to a group of participants from diverse backgrounds. They were asked to use their bare hands or any body parts to hold, feel, and interact with the tofu. Photographs were taken of their skin interacting with the tofu. At the end of the session, they were asked to write about their relationship with tofu.
The project “Tofu and Violence” aimed to present tofu as a metaphor for gentleness and nonviolence. To document this project, a limited edition set of three books titled “Tofu & Violence” was created.
