Concept
My work stems from an interest in how identity is shaped by history, place, and the structures we navigate.
Born to Korean parents and raised in Japan, I have always been deeply aware of the complex relationship between nationality and place. How do I translate this experience and awareness into visual form? To explore this, my practice centers around the question of whether the physicality of painting can merge with my personal and cultural consciousness.
