Lady Vengeance Prayer Hands

“It’s tradition to eat tofu upon release, so that you will live white as snow and never sin again.”
“Go screw yourself.”

8 x 13, ink and watercolor on watercolor paper. 2020.

A small tribute to Sympathy for Lady Vengeance, one of my all-time favorite movies. I was so struck by the red and black swirling mural in Lee Geum-ja’s bedroom, and the vibrant use of red throughout the film – this inspired my play on the flames in this traditional tattoo-style prayer hands.
