About
Artist, Educator, Specialist of Textile Design & Art

 I am  a South Korean artist working primarily with wool and needle felting to create soft sculptures and low-relief installations.
 My practice explores themes of nomadism, emotional memory, and tactile intimacy. Through slow, hand-driven processes, I examine the relationship between material, time, and feeling—often weaving threads of feminist thought, care, and quiet resistance into my work.
My sculptural language seeks to hold space for subtle emotions, inviting viewers into gentle moments of reflection and silent connection.

Artist's statement
My soft sculptures explore the delicate and ambiguous boundaries between organisms and environments, where perception, memory,
 and emotion merge. I primarily work with felt and other fibrous materials that breathe, sag, and mutate over time
 — much like the unstable entities they portray.

I consider felt not merely as a medium, but as a slow-growing skin or soft armor that absorbs traces of its surroundings. This tactility allows me to create parasitic or symbiotic forms that cling to walls, sprawl across surfaces, or float with strange intimacy. These forms are often inspired by fictional lifeforms, coral reefs, or extraterrestrial ecologies — not as direct representations but as emotional creatures that provoke curiosity and empathy.

The narrative world I build is ongoing: previous works like Fluffy Asteroid (2024) and Soft Contact (2025) have explored alien entities trying to communicate through soft appendages or tactile gestures. These organisms do not speak, but they remember, react, and respond through their textures and postures.

Ultimately, I aim to create spaces for emotional contact — where soft bodies offer unfamiliar but tender ways of encountering the other, and where materials carry memory not as data but as warmth, pressure, or breath.
