김사직은 “코리안 디아스포라”라는 자신의 끊임없이 변화하는 신체적, 정신적 정체성에 영감을 받아 작업을 시작했다. 사진작가로 활동하며 명인 이루치 김 아래에서 한국 전통무용을 연습해온 작가는 코리안 디아스포라 사이 세대를 거쳐 내려오는 역사와 민족정신의 트라우마에서 탄생할 수 있는 새로운 가능성을 모색한다. 현재는 일본-사할린 협회와 다른 단체의 지원을 받아 사할린에서 연구를 지속하고 있다. 2022년에는 교토의 아카아카 아트 퍼블리싱과 함께 사진 작품집을 출간했고, 2016년 Canon’s New Cosmos of Photography에서 그랑프리를, 2022년 교토부 문화 장려상을 수상했다.
