I was born in Daegu, South Korea, in 1991 and grew up in Ulsan. After studying painting, photography, and video in Korea, I moved to Germany in 2018. Since 2020, I have been based in Braunschweig, where I have developed an interdisciplinary practice spanning sculpture, public intervention, and community-based projects.
My work engages with the relationship between psychological and physical space through sculpture, dialogue, and social interaction. I am interested in how artistic practice can move beyond institutional frameworks and operate within everyday environments and public space. Within my work, public space functions as a social and emotional structure where identities, memories, and personal histories intersect and unfold.
Transformation and adaptability are central elements of my sculptural practice. Working with movable metal structures and flexible materials, the sculptures continuously shift in response to their surroundings. Through processes of unfolding, collapsing, expanding, and reconfiguring, the works resist fixed form and instead operate as living bodies shaped through movement, spatial conditions, and human presence.
Encounters with people and places form an essential part of the process. From these interactions emerge what I describe as psychological sculptures, dialogical forms shaped through conversation, memory, and shared experience. Questions of migration, belonging, and identity, particularly in relation to immigrant communities, frequently inform the work. Interviews, workshops, and collective exchanges often extend into books, printed matter, audio works, and participatory formats that expand sculpture into social space.
Experimentation, movement, and communication remain fundamental to my practice. Through direct engagement with urban environments and everyday encounters, the work investigates forms of social and emotional resonance that remain open, responsive, and in continuous transformation.
