In “W_ASH,” I aimed to craft a path to navigate the intricate emotions entwined with my pastoral role. In this piece, I grapple with sorrow and occasional anger evoked by disrespectful and hurtful departures from the church. Furthermore, I explore feelings of unforgiveness provoked by perceived or actual injustices.

This piece embodies my personal struggle, a dialogue with God regarding the Korean concept of "억울해," encapsulating a sense of unjust suffering or grievance.

This art was a prayerful expression my endeavor to surrender my hurts to God and to release the burden of unforgiveness.

Forgiveness can't occur if you refuse to acknowledge what has been hurtful.

Rather than suppressing the hurts, the initial step towards liberation is acknowledging the trespasses and informing God about them.
