ARTISTIC STATEMENT & BIOGRAPHY
I believe we are all born artists. Before language or judgment, we instinctively create. As a child, I drew constantly, on paper, in dirt, with rocks and sticks, driven not by recognition but by an inner necessity. That instinct remains the foundation of my practice today.
My work is rooted in emotional memory and the invisible forces that shape inner life. Through sculpture, painting, woodworking, metal, resin, and light-based installation, I create immersive spaces that explore healing, refuge,
identity, and transformation.
My ongoing series each investigates different emotional and psychological landscapes. Fragmentation examines the overlooked value of Yin energy and invisible labor within the feminine experience. The Second Floor reconstructs a forgotten childhood space that became a portal for imagination and survival. Random Celebration embraces spontaneity and fleeting moments of joy. Lighthouse, my most recognized public installation series, transforms the outline of a house into an illuminated sanctuary, offering spaces of reflection and emotional safety for those who grew up without a secure home.
Born in Seoul, Korea, with Mongolian roots, I now live and work in Dallas, Texas. My artistic path has been shaped by detours, loss, and renewal, guided in part by my late teacher, Armand Dimele, and my mentor, Robert Glaisek.
Today, I work across public art, sculpture, and installation, creating environments that invite viewers to pause,
breathe, and reconnect with themselves. Whether installed in museums, galleries, or outdoor public spaces, my work
seeks to transform feeling into form and light into something capable of holding human experience.
