To Make a Life

Yoomee Ko March 15, 2026

Refugio | Oil on Panel | 9”x12” | 2026

Lately, I’ve been thinking a lot about different ways of making a living. I’ve followed the path of getting good grades, getting into a good school, and getting a steady corporate job. I could get a family, too, but I know it won’t quieten my existential questions.

I should be grateful, the world tells me, but the rebel in me hasn’t and won’t shut up. She is actually louder now. Out of fear, I’ve tried to stop her from talking, but this time, I’ll listen to her—the little feisty spirit who knows how to make a life. If we fail, we’ll still be ok :)
