"I never felt His presence in my life
Not even in a dream
Mom told me I will find Him soon
Dad said to pray harder
But that was in high school
And the person I was then
Is not the same person now
I don’t think I believe anymore...
Despite that,
Am I really God’s child?
Pastor’s kids have become an example of the church, a representative of being a ‘good Christian’. These pressures from the church have either negatively or positively impacted these individuals’ relationships with culture, identity, religion, community, and more. These experiences have shaped and formed these individuals’ morals, ideals, and opinions on the world and its society. All of God’s Children is a photo series that documents the Korean American Christian community, concentrating on how the community has impacted the lives of pastors’ children. The project explores the themes of identity, culture, religion, and other intimate topics through the depiction and the relationships between the portraits and their environment. This series is a reflection on the intimacy of religion and how communities form through these ties."
