Concept
A multidisciplinary artist based in Japan and Korea who works primarily with painting.
Drawing on experiences of growing up in Hong Kong, Korea, and Japan, the artist expresses through their work a critical and transcultural analysis of the social environment in which they live, the questions that arise from it, and its relationship to personal identity.
