"Presence in Absence"
Through the medium of Hanji relief, the artist utilises sculptural elements and principles to express thoughts, emotions, and feelings of life. Through a process of unconscious repetition and acceptance, she harnesses the psychological properties of these sculptural elements to facilitate inner transformation. Each piece is created through an iterative approach, leading to the integration of repressed emotions. She explores the process of merging the duality between presence and absence.
Hanji possesses a quality of both existing and not existing, and it has continuously held an important place in Korean cultural history. As a result, Hanji is always present in Korean life, subtly yet powerfully stimulating our emotions. Through Hanji sculpture, the artist reveals repressed emotions, reflecting her intention to confront her inner self, which ultimately leads to a healing process.
