For nearly five decades, Nicole Ochongae Conrad has lived between cultures, and that experience — of belonging fully to neither Korea nor America while being shaped by both — became the foundation of a career in photography, education and cultural exchange.
Now, those experiences are captured in “An Artistic Journey,” a recently published collection of photography, personal essays and cultural narratives exploring identity, memory and diaspora.
“Being Korean American is not only about preserving our roots but also about sharing them with others,” Conrad said in a written interview with The Korea Times.
