My work explores the human desire for belonging,


a delicate pursuit haunted by mirage-like symbols of love and recognition.


I trace emotional architectures built from repetition and the longing to be seen,
mapping how we perform closeness while bracing for loss.

As a Korean woman, I speak through quiet resistance,


where tenderness becomes inquiry and visibility slips into illusion.


Affection becomes a negotiation; comfort disguises vulnerability.
Connection shelters us and watches us at the same time.

Through painting and mixed media,I work with surfaces that remain thin and exposed;

where a sudden, deliberate mark can land like a held breath.

Rather than building heavy layers, I allow each gesture to stand alone, revealing intimacy as a single moment of risk.

Each work is a held breath,

a brief interruption within the tension of our current social surface,

inviting a quiet question about how we might still reach for closeness without erasing ourselves.
