Being, Not Being
i have kept questioning myself about who i am and what would make me different from the others. With "Being, Not Being" i set out to confess my "dual emotion" which comes across my mind as an unsolved inner conflict.
i have been debating whether being an ordinary person or being an extraordinary creature since i started viewing the inner "I". By standing in front of my own camera with five other girls, who are real friends of mine and very much alike in appearance and personality, i has attempted to expose her inner conflicts to the world.
In my visual aesthetics, the bridge piers and the six girls wearing the same clothes stand for my expectations of living in a stable life and our society that is by and by conforming to a single standard. At the same time, by using kid's props and placing conspicuously posed self, my photographs are reflecting my desire for a pure life and being myself who is able to become more independent of the environment. Through this series of works, i have visualized my monologue about hesitation in my identity and role in society.

Soaked in Time
this work was inspired by "The Little Prince." we all need someone else to love and be loved. as the fox said in the book, not only the little prince(he was tamed to his rose) but also we are all tamed to others every moment. and the most important fact is that we need time to be tamed.
people are tamed to others by time like we are soaked by rain.
Girl Talk
I have intended to work with photography with different kinds of feelings through pure and genuine perspective.
With my photographs I create scenes that I have had in my imagination of the first feeling in friendship between girls.
This project sets out to the emotions and curiosity in love.

The First Love
this body of work has two versions. one day, i came up with a question that i would have never be curious about. that was "how would i feel if i make love?"
it isn't just a action. for me, it is more like another way of communicating between lovers. so, i used bright cyan and white color to symbolize a fresh and pure love. and by showing awkward poses, i uncomfortable feelings that might be given after making love.
Once Upon a Time
"once upon a time, there was a women walking by a very clear stream. suddenly, she found a little tiny shining bean in the stream. she got closer to see it and picked the little bean up very carefully. but then she just realized that it was a dream."
this body of work starts with my mother's dream that is believed as a precognitive dream about the birth of a child. i have made 21 symbolic images that shows my life from a baby to 25 year-old women with props and clothes that i have used.
