Innerscape
“Innerscape” is a series of imagined emotional landscapes accompanied by sounds composed and performed by the artist. The instrument is called Gayageum, a traditional Korean string instrument. Each painting reflects her experiences as an outsider, shaped by cultural and social differences over time.
It captures the moments of feeling herself change, the overwhelming influence of her surroundings, the confusion that comes with constantly adapting, the growing distance she feels from her home country, and the realization that she doesn’t fully belong to either place. At the same time, she keeps wondering—what is the truest version of herself? These shifts, memories, and emotions all merge into the “Innerscape”.
Through this series, she invites us to step into an otherworldly space, where the interplay of colors, shapes, and sound creates an immersive atmosphere. Each painting, accompanied by its own composition, serves as a passage into inner worlds formed by personal memories and emotions.
