    Photo of a woman, with text underneath: "I am a woman, an artist born and raised in South Korea, I have always liked sparkling and visually pleasing objects. Skylines getting smaller for my eyes, as I sit behind my mother in the car, gold and silver crayons from sets of 36, shining specks in the sand as I come down the slide, all captivated my eyes. Because of my interest in visually appealing objects, I decided to become an artist. While seeking beautiful objects, at age 14, I stumbled upon an old film camera at home. When I first touched the cold textures of a camera, I knew that it was radiating warm waves. That feeling captivated me and soon these waves were being created from my fingertips. I majored in Fine Art photography at university and experienced the 'Me Too' movement as a student. Naturally, I started to think about women's rights. I want to ask. How has your life been as a woman? Where should we go?"

My work expresses various social and political issues through photography, moving image, and installation. Through this, I aim to raise awareness of our society’s diverse problems and bring about practical changes.
