Hand-blown glass vessels and local creek and river water

Project overview

Our mothers, our water, our peace is commissioned by Flux Projects and partially supported by The New School. The Asian American Advocacy Fund is grateful to be selected as one of the host sites during this project. These vessels are currently installed throughout our office space in Norcross.

About the art

In response to the escalation of Asian hate crimes during the pandemic followed by the 2021 Atlanta spa shootings, Gyun Hur illuminates this testimony of the irreversible changes that have taken place in the identities and stories we tell ourselves.

This array of installations intertwines as echoing and poetic nodes mapping grief and love in both public and private spaces. These hand-blown tear-shaped vessels hold local creek and river water from the Atlanta region and seed conversations around intergenerational work, healing, and community engagement through a series of workshops and gatherings.
