I’m a visual artist working in painting. Rooted in Korean heritage, my work explores memory, identity, and the subconscious. I reinterpret traditional motifs through abstraction, using cultural specificity as a way to explore universal human emotions—seeking connections between personal experience and shared, timeless aspects of our collective imagination.

I'm pleased to share that my new public art installation, Beyond Boundaries: Surreal Visions, is now on view at Mixed Pantry in Belltown as part of the Seattle Restored exhibition activation.

 

This installation features a series of surrealist paintings shaped by memory, perception, and the tension between stillness and transformation. The works reflect a continued interest in ambiguous spaces—where time feels suspended and internal experience shifts the visible world.

Seven paintings inspired by traditional Korean ceramic vessels are now installed in the sanctuary windows of Bethany Presbyterian Church in Seattle.

Each piece reflects the quiet presence and enduring beauty of Korean forms, reimagined through layers of botanical imagery and light. Together, they create a meditative space for reflection, memory, and transformation. Each painting measures 40 x 30 x 2.5 inches.
