My practice begins with a simple question: what remains when every experience is vanishing? I worked as a handbag designer over 17 years, immersed in an industry devoted to desire, possession, and the perpetual creation of objects people longed to own. I participated in shaping material aspirations, while simultaneously exploring the intersection of fashion and fine art through independent exhibitions beginning in 2017. During the years of the pandemic, a subtle
transformation emerged.The impulse to pursue external validation and material accumulation gradually dissolved. My attention shifted inward. Rather than designing what people wished to possess or show, I became drawn to the fleeting moments of quiet happiness within ordinary life. In 2022, after signing with a gallery in Seoul I decided to leave the design industry. Since 2023, I have devoted myself to an artistic practice centered on impermanence, perception, and the instability of reality. My work investigates the Buddhist notion of the impermanence of all conditioned phenomena, alongside the distortion and idealization of memory, and the invisible waves connecting existence on both cosmic and psychological scales. Every sensation of pleasure is intensely real in the moment, yet simultaneously dissolves into absence. Memory itself becomes a creative act; fragmented, reconstructed, and continuously rewritten.
