Skin, Stone, Dust is an autoethnographic tale that weaves fragments of global capitalism around artificial marble, unfolding across South Korea, Greece, and Cambodia. Rooted in her family’s marble factory—founded in 1990, the year of her birth—the project explores how personal and material histories intersect. After returning to South Korea in 2021, Ki Hyun Park began reflecting on her entanglement with the factory’s rhythms, tracing connections between capitalism, labor migration, and climate shifts, while contemplating cycles of rise, fall, and the migration of “origin.”
