Driven by curiosity, I pose the question of how societies construct their original functionality in creative domains. I am a multi-disciplinary visual artist who has gained international recognition from gallery representation since the 2020 summertime when the Covid hit across the world. 

My curious character is a product of my upbringing from a very conventional background in South Korea. My journey started as against the second level of appreciation to artists who apply the innermost intangible qualities of their imaginations in most spheres of life. 

The fashion education system at the London College of Fashion was always within the realms of commerciality and academia that helped  50% of my vision glowed, but for the rest of 50% was a huge setback to enrich my foundation on academic research in a global aspect. I believed world art studies should get along within the ideological domains, even in the most commercial field, the fashion market.  

The hallmarks of originality are such hard work from rejecting a default and taking on controversy to explore a much bigger print of existence. The hallmarks of the brilliant mind with an independent complexity in hearty dignity can forbid the hindrance of challenging the bottom line of the safety net.

It has been a long-distance journey to get on with what I imagine for representing the best self. My softness and tenderness on people I love was the main reason to have a pervasive effect on my art. I was full of disdain for people's non-supernal minds to reach them with having a bonded feeling.  It was somehow the fundamental cause why I was so into creating the tangible visual translation to the most uncertain atmosphere, circumstance, and psychological-emotional movement in the human brain. 

It was a difficult task to make something new happened from nothing grounded without a guide hands. As my characteristic traits, questioning peoples' s level of brilliant minds, I never had a single chance to find a helping hand from others. So, I have stood myself all alone to take rein or cards in my hands to make my future progress. But, I believe there are lots of people who are willing to see more connections between people, want to strive for sharing the fundamental purpose of life. Because, I was impressed by how beautifully the human being exists to demonstrate as the definition of someone's purpose for living and ambition. I believe that the dream of each beautifulness visualizes in real life bring us to see the inner voice with our own eyes.
