Girl Statue for Peace Comfort Women - My personal journey

For some, it is the 'Statue of Peace,' for others, the 'War Girl.' It is sad to witness how this single artwork can divide people so drastically. And it's not only Japanese citizens who have voiced opposition to the sculpture and its placement. With this account of my journey with the bronze statue, I aim to provide a text that will enable readers and viewers to gain a deeper understanding of the circumstances that led to the creation and the public displays of the statue in South Korea and in the Federal Republic of Germany. The period from 2016 to 2019 spanned only three years during which I had the privilege of accompanying the 'Statue of Peace.' These years, however, were very intense. And although I am no longer involved in the project, one thing I can promise: It will continue! The 'comfort women' will not be forgotten
