I am a textile-based installation artist whose work begins from sensation—how cloth touches the skin, how softness becomes a boundary. I grew up in a lineage of women who sewed: my grandmother made hanbok, my mother made clothes, and I learned to understand the world through the hand before language.

I use textile not as craft, but as a material architecture for memory. My installations examine how inherited bodily memory becomes structure—how intimacy, protection, pressure, and release take spatial and psychological form. Through stitching, knotting, binding, and layering, I trace the moment where softness is pushed to choose: where to hold, where to yield, and where to let go.

Across my recent series, textile functions as a structural logic rather than a medium category. Each work operates as an embodied diagram of generational memory—its ruptures, thresholds, and accumulations—translated into large-scale spatial compositions.

Working between sculpture and installation, I build environments shaped by gravity, air, and proximity. My practice attempts to materialize what cannot be stated: the micro-sensations that form identity, the residues of care, and the architectures we inherit through the women who came before us.
