She is an artist who reinterprets traditional Korean ink painting through a contemporary lens, visualizing intangible elements like time, emotion, and atmosphere in her works. Bamboo frequently appears as a central motif in her pieces—not merely as a plant, but as a medium conveying wind, flow, and stillness. Her paintings evoke a quiet tension between presence and absence, materiality and void.

In recent years, she has expanded her practice by incorporating performative techniques such as burning, tearing, and layering. The traces of fire left on hanji (traditional Korean paper) evoke themes of disappearance, memory, and emotional residue, pushing her work beyond the two-dimensional into spatial and sculptural expression.

She earned her BFA, MFA, and Ph.D. in Oriental Painting from Ewha Womans University. Her exhibitions span Seoul, Berlin, and Karlsruhe, and she has participated in residencies at GlogauAIR (Berlin, 2014 & 2017), Art Studio NANDA (Yangpyeong, 2015–2016), and Gallery Art Park (Karlsruhe, 2019–2020). Based in Seoul, she currently teaches traditional Korean painting at the university level.
