five cities; space, body, identity, and relationship 


For the past decade, I lived in 5 different cities, Seoul, Chicago, London, New York, and now in Los Angeles.

When I say “I live by making art,” I mean it quite literally. Each work is a temporary dwelling of where I connect with my inner self in an effort to ultimately seek comfort. Art has fueled my journey of settling down—of finding solace in an object, place, headspace, or relationship.

From the seemingly mundane, I question subject-object relationships between the self and others, between found objects and certain phenomena. To find the answers, I immerse myself in everyday experiences; I might visit a cafe, ride the train, take a walk, or curl up with a good book. Finding joy in ordinary tasks has led to my discovery of various species and spaces: the visible and the positive, the invisible and the negative, and then the in-between. Through my artwork, I explore and manifest the intangible, ephemeral nature of lived experiences, shaping my findings into public interventions, performative sculptures, interactive installations, architectural prototypes, and an artist’s book.
