Overview
"The content of my work has been the realization of the imprint, the inscription etched from the experience of leaving, the experience of America," Cha wrote, reflecting on her diasporic existence as a Korean immigrant to the United States. In this series of photographs, each T-shirt is stamped with a play on the term Americanism. The various phrases range from spirited individualism ("A / merry / can / ism") to disfiguration ("A / marr / can / ism"), evoking a fractured and multivalent experience of America.
