Born and raised in South Korea and later transplanted to the U.S., I have always been attuned to cultural inheritance and adaptation. My maternal grandmother was a hanbok maker, and although she never formally taught my mother, my mother absorbed the gestures by watching her work over her shoulder. In turn, I learned from my mother in much the same way, through quiet observation, through repetition, through the body’s memory. Tracing these intergenerational continuities and absences —what is passed on, what is lost, and what re-emerges —has become central to my practice.

I am a Korean-born, New York-based multidisciplinary artist working primarily with textiles and installations. My practice explores how the inherent energies and vibrations of the world, shaped by the interconnectedness of mind, emotion, and object, manifest through material gestures, whether hand embroidery, crocheting, painting, or layering found objects into immersive environments.

Textiles, with their capacity to hold both strength and vulnerability, have become a language through which I translate these layered personal and cultural histories. The repetitive gestures of craft become more than personal labor; they serve as a metaphor for collective awareness, reminding us how individual actions accumulate into shared memory, resilience, and cultural continuity.
