ARK
Ark describes a time when we had a front row seat where it seemed that we could see everything yet it felt as if we were seeing nothing at all. Over the years I’ve found fewer and fewer animals when I go out into nature to look at this or to film that. In the last year I haven’t found any wild animals and I’ve rarely heard any birds. So where have all the other animals gone? What has happened to them and what is going to happen to us? The human niche or ecological polis of human society has…

Radius
From my perspective any place can be seen as sacred. I believe you can become so familiar with a place that you can feel the sacred in every aspect of its land, air and water. The more familiar I become with a place the more I tend to fall in love with it and in turn many of its truths are revealed. On March 31, 2022 my life partner Cheryl passed away in hospice. In April I decided to make a pilgrimage to places near our house where we enjoyed taking walks after moving to the village in October of…

Tethering falconry and motherhood, Freya weaves together themes of death and magic, where seasons re-arrange, just as myth and memory are re-cast through a childhood spell.

Hier und Dort
Since I arrived here in Germany from Korea, I always find myself in the unlearning situation. While I encounter completely different cultures, languages, situations, I have had to throw away a lot of what I have already learned and at the same time take away a lot of what I need to learn anew. I am already a learned person, but at the same time an unlearned person here.

Possible or if possible
The facial expressions disintegrate in a similar way. The fragments come together again and become a new facial expression. Only the look remains. The facial expression often represents the lie or moves away from the truth. (Just as a laugh does not represent only happiness and crying does not represent only sadness) In this process, I tried to create a new facial expression by arbitrarily arranging the beginning and end of the expressions.

Close your eyes, eyes, eyes
That you see with closed eyes may be visible or invisible. Distinguish between possibilities and cognitions. Occasionally an object and at times, an event. May be future or a place, eyes/snow, wind, or sometimes time and aspiration, sweat and periodically desire, or the remains of those. Distinguish the difference between enabling and cognition.

MRI fiction journey
During MRI scanning, I would fall into a profound deception, and in this unpredictable space, all alone and completely disconnected from the outside world, I would travel the universe and ponder about incidents that I would never be able to experience. Incomprehensible yet significant senses and experience that I accidentally faced one day. And the goosebumps from the realness of those moments is weighing down on me. Based on such experience, I visualized my fictious stories along with those of others.

All my sign
Shinjuku in winter, 2017-. I feel useless when I try to look at coincidence as inevitability or create romance from mundane things. So I drink alcohol now in an ordinary bar with nonsensical neon lights. I thought my destiny was to drink alcohol, by necessity alone, in any place. I never tried to change that. Then I make eye contact with a man sitting across from me. Outside the window it is snowing. Between the things that fall naturally and naturally, I was alone.

Cinabrethe
I have a strangely comfortable feeling in the porch, being neither outside nor inside. Since then, the porch has a role for me above the space. My porch, existing as an ambiguous size, occupies the role between outside and inside. neither cold nor warm, neither dangerous nor safe, neither noisy nor quiet. Why do I feel safe in this indeterminate space? I recapitulate the insignificant events in my everyday life, I am on the trail of the past and the already disappeared.
