Hawu Lim: Everyday is My Birthday

January 11 - February 15,2025

From Spellerberg Projects: "Hawu Juhye Lim (b. 1989, Seoul, South Korea) is a Korean-American artist based in Brooklyn. Lim lived in suburban America as an undocumented immigrant for the first thirteen years of her life in America. There was no room for anything beyond it. Despite all the support Lim received, life was always difficult, profoundly lonely, and filled with the uncertainty of limbo. Feelings were overwhelming, and Lim started to foster them into a stagnant pool within her limbo. Only when the pool overflowed did Lim begin to acknowledge what had been neglected. The decayed, tangled remnants of feelings were difficult and painful, resembling a forgotten sack of potatoes, shriveled and sprouting in a dark corner—ugly, unwanted, yet stubbornly hopeful. Lim draws from this pool to study them on the paper in the hopes to understand, love and, live in this Absurd world. Lim earned a BFA from Pratt Institute in and continues to hone her practice in Brooklyn, New York."
