Ku’s process incorporates diverse materials such as traditional Asian papers, translucent drafting film, collage, and embroidery, creating detailed and psychologically rich worlds. Darkness Against the Glittering Sky offers Utah audiences a unique chance to engage with Ku’s distinctive perspective, developed through her experiences as a woman and immigrant navigating multiple cultural identities.
