Finding small happiness project (2022~)

What the project is all about: These days, people often do not notice the moments they experience happiness. With so much going on in the world, people often focus on their stress and the negative aspects of their lives. So, this project is designed for people to stop and take notice of the small, but certain happiness present in their daily life. The hope is that through the recognition of a small piece of happiness, those moments can grow to a bigger and more substantial source of happiness in one’s life.  Another byproduct is that by noticing where one’s happiness comes from, they can turn back to those places when their lives become difficult and they need some help.

How to participate: Take one photo of a small moment of happiness every day for one week. You can use a phone camera, DSLR, or film camera to capture it.  After a week, you will have 7 photos of what makes you happy. Finally, send digital photos (jpg.) to (yurakimstudio@gmail.com) and I will print the photos to make an installation art. Also, some photos may be featured on my Instagram @yrk_studio.

The deadline does not exist for this project. The project will be continued for the next exhibition.
