Language Barrier

Is something our family grew up with

My siblings’ first languages were all different

Eventually,

We all learned Korean

But a few of us took some…

Time…

I was the last among my peers to pick up reading Korean

And my brother, who has autism, was taking longer to get accustomed to the new language.

But!

We had our ways to bond

Movies

Drawings

Charades

We relied on visual communication

Our family created an accessible setting that worked for all of us

And now as a Digital Media and Design student, 

I try to keep mindful of inclusivity and accessibility whenever I produce my visual content.
