EXHIBITION
My art began not on a canvas, but on the face. It expanded through a serendipitous moment where music met art.
In that moment, expression was no longer decoration, but conversation —where acrylics and charcoal, film and photography, typography and space meet emotion to create new stories. I keep experimenting, evolving, and walking my own unfolding path.
Art & Music Performance w/ National Orchestra @ Keeper’s Market (Apr 2025)
My exhibition journey began by chance, during a performance where music intertwined with art. Working with musicians from the National Orchestra, I discovered how rhythm could spark color and how sound could unfold into visual shapes.
That moment revealed to me that art isn’t confined to a canvas, but can exist as a living conversation between senses.
I showcased an acrylic painting and several short films inspired by the harmony among sound, emotion, and form.
Viewing Again Art Exhibition @ Jinburyeong Art Museum (May–Jun 2025)
I was invited by a curator who had seen my video at the previous exhibition. The show, held at Jinburyeong Art Museum, a state-run gallery nestled in a mountain region, supported young artists through ACT's community program. I exhibited three short films on environmental themes and a piece centered on the human eye, a symbol of perception, awareness, and the invisible connections between people and nature.
BOX GALLERY ART EXHIBITION @ RGB Cube Gallery Aug 2025
This collaborative exhibition near Hongdae brought together students and senior artists to support elderly paper collectors.
Using recycled cardboard as our canvas, we painted stories of resilience and renewal.
My piece, shaped by light and shadow, reflected the quiet strength found in ordinary lives, which helped me realize that art could speak in the language of empathy.
PUBLICATIONS – BEYOND THE STUDIO
Art isn't meant to stay within the walls of a classroom or studio. It lives when it's shared, when it becomes part of how others learn, feel, and see the world.
Two of my works were published beyond school, and through them, I learned that art can educate, connect, and plant small seeds of change.
Textbook Publication
During my 11th grade art class, my teacher encouraged us to see art as communication, not just creation. A few of my drawings were selected to be featured in a Korean high school art textbook, scheduled for publication next year. It was the first time I realized that art could live beyond the classroom, that it could become part of how others learn and imagine.
Magazine Feature
This piece began with a question: “Can pressure lead to growth?” I wanted to show how emotional and social pressures can break us yet also shape us into something stronger.
The colors across the face are not decorations but fragments of emotion such as anger, confusion, fear, and the courage and hope that rise from them. They clash and blend, and within that chaos, they find harmony.
The two eyes reflect my inner journey; the smaller one holds fear, while the larger one searches for light. Both are painted in blue, a color that carries sadness and serenity, uncertainty and clarity at once.
Through this work, I realized that fractures are not merely wounds but openings where light can enter. Pressure once broke me, yet within those cracks, I began to grow.
