Concept
Seoyeon Kim translates images gathered from digital environments into painting, exploring the blurred boundary between reality and fiction. Drawing inspiration from objects found on online marketplaces—such as vintage ornaments—her works reveal the tension between material presence and commodified imagery. By incorporating elements like barcodes or scale comparison props, Kim emphasizes the temporality and materiality of images that might otherwise seem intangible. Her practice ultimately questions how far the online world can be recognized as reality, offering a renewed perspective on visual experience.
