About The Artwork

For five years, I have traveled to refugee camps throughout the world. In each country, the same extreme conditions have forced a new perspective in how I see the human condition and, ultimately, how I reflect on my artwork. Recently my work ruminates on how we can visualize human will and our aspirations and effectively present them. My processes for creating these series of pieces is embodied in meditation, deep rest, focused thought, and integration of quantum mechanics and the resonance of the physicality of our bodies. Take a deeper look. Humans are vibrations, and we respond to the echoes and reverberations and resonate with others. Everything life interacts with sends its seismic waves just by existing. We produce them, feel them, and create a tidal routine. Life itself has a cycle. These figurative paintings embrace this alternative to the conventional representation of the body and visceral insight into our conscious and unconscious experience of being in the world. There is a relationship between the physical and the cerebral. Society, imagination, and dreams illustrate the contrast between the tangible and intangible. My Reverberation series draws inspiration from French philosopher Maurice Merleau-Ponty (1908-61) and his unfinished manuscript "The Visible and the Invisible". Just as Merleau-Ponty analyzes our understanding of the human being through dualistic thinking and dichotomies, my work focuses on the human form, utilizing ideas of contemporary physics to reveal the lack of certainty in how we perceive the human condition, recognizable spaces, and the interrelations of objects

Selected Saatchi Rasing Star 2021 My primary interest is the potentiality of objects— and the physical or psychological state changes that take place inside and around us at any given moment. ​ My recent work focuses on a challenge to create figurative paintings which defy a conventional representation of the body and present an alternative that is much more about our conscious and unconscious experience of being in the world. This embodiment references the relationship between our own physicality and our cerebral, societal and imaginative life, foregrounding altered states such as dreaming. It’s very important to me to contrast this intangible scenario with our inevitable, visceral experience of the world. My compositions focus on the human form, often unrecognizable as if affected by the skewed and invisible forces of contemporary physics, revealing the lack of certainty in what we perceive as conventionally reliable spaces and interrelations of objects. The body-subject is therefore present in my works in parallel with a quest to see the space of nothing. ​ I was born in 1986 and grew up in Seoul, Korea. After receiving my BA in Architect Engineering and working several years at an architecture & design firm as an advisor, I came to Boston, BFA to pursue my dream as a visual artist. I received my BFA & BA Psychology degree from Tufts University & School of the Museum of Fine Arts (SMFA) in 2016.
