ARTIST STATEMENT
My work explores the integration of nature, imagination, curiosity, and storytelling, fostering a contemplative investigation of care through abstract and surrealistic forms of art. My ever-evolving inspirations and motivations enrich my artistic journey, making it both enjoyable and meaningful. Meticulous attention to detail allows me to emphasize the depth of expression and the ideas that drive my creativity. Each piece aspires to connect with viewers on an intuitive level, sparking both wonder and introspection.
BIOGRAPHY
I was born in Busan and raised amidst the natural expanses of Kimhae, South Korea. As a quiet, observant child, I found solace in the mountains, countryside, and ocean—an immersion in nature that became a profound source of artistic inspiration. My mother, an artisan who sculpted joy from paper clay, was my first and most cherished influence. She was also a painter, deeply devoted to her own creative path, which quietly ignited my lifelong passion for art.
In my twenties, I found comfort in the vibrant energy of New York City, where my career as a floral designer began to bloom. Incorporating natural elements into window displays and featuring my own paintings and drawings within these installations marked a pivotal turning point. This merging of visual storytelling and spatial design became the foundation for my Integration series, where art embraced floral design, and I began to express with fuller freedom.
Since then, I’ve followed inspiration with curiosity—exploring new mediums, working intuitively, and integrating ideas in unexpected ways. Recently, I returned to school to nurture this evolving journey, studying studio art, graphic design, and psychology. These disciplines continue to shape my perspective and expand my practice.
Solitude remains my sanctuary, a place where ideas are given space to breathe. In recent years, I’ve quietly begun exploring visual narratives through illustration and storyboarding—another language through which I can express emotion, reflection, and imagination. Whether abstract or representational, my work remains rooted in feeling, always drawn to the essence of what moves us.
