Painting as a
form of thinking.

Born in Seoul, 1993. Currently based between Seoul and Berlin. My practice centers on the materiality of paint — its weight, its resistance, the way it holds and refuses time. Each work begins with an accumulation of layers that are then selectively revealed or concealed.

I am interested in the threshold between representation and abstraction, and in how paint can hold emotional and physical residues simultaneously. The studio is a place of sustained attention, of slow looking.
