Painting

Ethereal Concordance

Layers of color and form accumulate not to produce a single resolved image, but to make visible the process of repetition and buildup itself. The rectangles across the surface are informed by shapes and sensations gathered from nature, yet they... More

My Brave New Word

I explore the unstable boundary between abstraction and reality. I wanted to bring into painting form the sensations and memories that resist visibility, alongside images that have stayed with me personally. Rather than communicating a clear... More

Painting

Not Entirely Mine

In this work, I explore the formation of identity through a Korean cultural background and the personal condition of being born in the year of the tiger. The tiger appears as a symbol that describes me, but it is also an external image I cannot... More

The Spectral In-between: Hauntology in Diaspora

My interest lies in the kind of identity that forms under diasporic conditions — and in the way a past that never fully ended continues to operate inside the present. The memories and feelings I carried from Korea did not disappear after I moved.... More
