Previously, I studied Design at the Design Academy Eindhoven, and Media Design at the Dongduk Women's University. Recently, my work was exhibited in ‘More Space For The People’, at SaltSpace in Glasgow. I have an upcoming exhibition at Hidden Door Festival 2022, Edinburgh

I am a South Korean female visual artist working in 3D printed sculpture, digital art and installation. My work concerns nature's depiction in historical and cultural artefacts, especially those related to women, naturally leading my interest into ecofeminism. I explore the ambiguous border between the digital and the physical world in my works, interrogating the relationship between technology and nature.

I often express my ideas through storytelling. Recently, I developed ‘Four Seasons’, an installation artwork inspired by Norigae, a traditional Korean women’s accessory handed down through generations as a token of motherhood. The work is built around a poetic video that narrates my relationship with my grandmother, accompanied by her Norigae in every scene, passing through each of the four seasons that embodies eternal motherhood.
