I firmly believe that the power in the act of creating should be pure, joyful, and without limitations—much like how children freely express themselves through art. I left my home country of Korea for the United States at the age of fifteen and while I have lived here ever since, Korea has remained in my mind as an object of longing. That is why the influence of Korean art is inseparable from my work.

The unique characteristics of Korean art are in its lyricism and simplicity. The pursuit of simplicity is an important part of my practice. As much as possible, I utilize materials that are easily available, such as acrylic paints, pens, paper, and everyday materials, to offer viewers an easy approachability before completing my paintings with simple lines and shapes.
