I will toast and shout your name while recording a video. 

It has been tough for me to come up with a reward that represents this project because Run Towards My Family is an ephemeral one. I won’t, like other crowdfunding projects, have a concrete “product” since it's an experience. The work will live on my website and on social media platforms. However, I’d like to write a mini memoir as evidence of my endeavor, based on social media posts and my experiences. This I would offer as a PDF digital “diary.”

This work was inspired by the German phrase Schicke Möpse and drawings that I made when researching global beauty standards. 

Pick up only in Berlin. 

A blast from the past! A throwback to Dr. Rhee's Kimtschi Shop from 2011. You can get your own homemade Kimtschi portion from the Rhee Food Lab based in Berlin. To learn more about this food art social intervention, see link.

I will guide you on a long, slow, and sexy pace run, with your choice of distance up to 15K. We can talk about social intervention or a topic of your choice.  Suggested location Berlin. However, Seoul, New York, Los Angeles, or San Francisco might work if we can coordinate when I am traveling. This reward will never expire until used, as long as I am still healthy and fit to run. 

THIS IMAGE IS A PAST EXAMPLE. This painting was created in Treptower Park after running 15K. 

My pandemic hobby running coincided with my learning how to draw from observation. I also started doing en plein air watercolor painting. Last summer I started a habit of running with my watercolor paints and a small sketchbook in my vest and making a work after finishing my long run on the weekend. Your nature painting will be one that I create this summer especially for you. I will also record the date, location, and the distance I ran. Please note, the painting will be either circa 21 cm x 15 cm or 30 cm x 10 cm, depending on the format of the sketchbook I am using.
