NUNUMBlending Flash Fiction & ArtInterview with Kayleen Cho
At the time, I didn’t fully understand the story, but the line “What is essential is invisible to the eye” stayed with me for a long time. Perhaps that was when it all began—the habit of collecting stuffed animals one by one. Though they didn’t have names and never spoke, they were always there, silently staying by my side no matter how I was feeling. Like the fox in The Little Prince, the stuffed animals made me question the meaning of relationships.
This book captures the experience of emotions fading in an incomprehensible world through stark, simple, and cold sentences. Are there any artists who have had a significant influence on you and your work? Annette Messager has been the greatest influence on my artistic perspective. Her way of visualizing anxiety and emotions through personal materials such as textiles, dolls, and text has become an important reference for my work. I deeply resonate with how she explores themes of attachment, loss, and the blurring of identity—quietly, yet profoundly. Do you have any advice for individuals who are just starting to submit their work to journals? I believe that for someone submitting their work to a journal for the first time, it’s more important to gain the experience of doing it rather than focusing too much on the result. Even if it gets rejected, that doesn’t change the meaning of the work itself. I think the best approach is to submit the work in its most honest state.
