This commissioned work attempts to capture the conflicting yet complementary characteristics inherent within Miss Currie, a New York licensed lawyer of South Korean origin who lived in South Korea, Canada, United States, China and many other places, and known for her cultural curiosity, open mind character and her appetite for life.

The central tree represents existence, time, knowledge, which rise with experience to lead to appeasement and wisdom. This tree is in two colors. The red tree corresponds to her first life with a husband who unfortunately died in 2017, and the green tree, much more explosive and springing, which corresponds to a possible new birth. This tree remains undividable and represents all the moments of life, the good and the bad. And help to accept all of them, misadventures as well as benefits.

The two Currie located on either side of the tree represent the polarities of her character, of her personalities: the one on the left is flamboyant, golden, sparkling, colorful, she is the respected and admired public woman. The one on the right is the intimate, simple, frugal, discreet personality, almost stripped of all its artifices, and wearing its mother and grandmother in medallions, who here represent a certain traditional and cultural continuity.

The text supports the fluctuating feelings in the journey between these two polarities, sometimes not always in harmony in a personality, and idea that a whole life is often necessary to tune them and thus accept one’s true nature.
