"Innerscape" is a series of imagined emotional landscapes, each accompanied with its own soundtrack, played in Korean traditional string instrument called Gayageum, composed and performed by the artist.
This series traces the confusing, unsettling experience while becoming someone different over time. It grows out of life between different places and cultures, where belonging is always partial and the sense of home stretches, blurs, and sometimes slips away.
Each painting captures the feeling of standing on the boundary between two spaces, absorbing the overwhelming influence of a new environment while feeling a growing distance from the home country. Moments of confusion, constant adaptation, and the sensation sensation of never fully belonging to either side are compressed into these inner landscapes. When the question of ‘what is the truest version of oneself?’ constantly circles, the certainty of identity blurs, the self feels unstable and strained to its limit, and the emotions and memories shaken by different expectations and meanings finally appear as 'Innerscape'.

The melodies of the gayageum, heighten the emotion of the artist finding herself where different cultures clash. These soundtracks transform flat paintings into a multi-sensory experience, fusing sound and color into a single emotional state. This allows viewers to do more than look at the landscape; they feel its rhythm, tension, and subtle inner changes as if walking through her memory.
