Drawing inspiration from the creatures and figurative depicted within East Asia mythology, I create ravishing pieces that arouse a sense of wonder and introspection. My artistry seamlessly blends drawing, Printing and experimental embroidery to convey complex emotions and narratives, leaving a lasting impression on the viewer. I aim to explore the interconnectedness of perception, and artistic expression, by interplaying and experimenting between the mediums and visual disciplines. It starts from producing sculptural object collections and how they are translated with specific narratives as photography. Fantasy narratives delve into the realms of mythology, accompanying vivid figurative language and symbolic elements that take on meaning within specific contexts. They ignite my curiosity, particularly when exploring the fascinating creatures and intricate relationships between humans and non-humans. This curiosity has been fueling my imagination since my childhood. These narratives exist on the threshold between spiritual realms and reality, offering deep insights that guide my perspectives and shape the visions of the future. My artistic journey has led me to experiment with the context with diverse textile techniques, and crafting sculptural jewelry using beads. However, these experiences have ignited my curiosity to venture into uncharted territory, paving the way for my interest in the visual styling for photography. My interest has been towards to how the objects could be visually translated in front of the camera, bringing their own narratives behind of the design. It is truly compelling that the visualization of objects can be sublimated as a passage to communicate with viewers and visitors, by drawing out another beauty when they interplay with additional elements, lighting, styling and the set in the end completes the entire scenery. I am particularly intrigued by the ways in which the philosophical concept of each theme, can be visually manifested in both objects production and campaign photography providing a metaphorical lens through which it can reflect symbols, creatures depicted in Korean mythology are infused into my creations, I believe I can offer unique insights into the intricate the images in the real sculptural objects and imagery manipulation.
