Lives and works in London / Born 1997, South KoreaMy practice reaches toward expressions of both the sublime and the subliminal, rearticulating awe for the 21st century. I am drawn to how the sublime now manifests less as distant spectacle and more as quiet disturbance; technological accelerations, glitches, and uncertainty that conspire to deform our perception and give rise to tentative, sensory utopias.Education
