Shrinking Monuments Into a Traveler's Cup


Traveler's Cup is a series of digital pigment prints by Colorado-based artist Joo Yeon Woo that features symbolic representations of cultural displacement. By shrinking monuments and architectural landmarks, making them compact enough to fit into a cup, Woo explores the idea of disconnection from culture and origins. Whether it's through physical relocation or simply via the digital era we live in, where much of the world is seen on a screen, it's all far from the actual source.
