This work is a picture of my dad's old digital camera that I found at home in high school for a short visit, because it was a vacation from Canada to Korea. It was a memory I had almost forgotten when I was young, so it was more valuable. The image looked warm, so I tried to paint it with more depth. I worked in a unique way by creating a little abstraction, some colors, and adding details. I recommend watching Mountains and rocks, the depth of the water, and small icons of boats and people. Also, dynamic color tones.

Design their new logo, website, app..etc.

In this piece, I drew several figure drawings in a sketchbook and collaged them with a few magazine papers, Hanji paper (Korean paper handmade from mulberry trees), and colored papers. This expresses depression, confusion, and stress caused by a lot of thoughts.

First of all, the red curtain is clothes. It expresses clothes with curtains to give the impression that they are opening up the inside of a person's mind. In order to express the coexistence of depression and innocence, the background behind the heart is expressed in a brilliant gradation blue. Based on the heart, the left is expressed as clouds of evil theme and eyes. Also the right is expressed of good. So, if you look closely, the model of the pupils and the colors of the clouds and tears are different. In the heart, the lines are expressed like beautiful movable property, and if you look closely, people are playing in the water. You can see hell hidden underneath the good water. In my work, I wanted to show that goodness can turn into evil and evil can turn into good. And I wanted to express that when goodness is excessive or hurt, it comes to pain.

This work was in covid-19, and expressing how the situation (figures of speech, bird-Peacock’s sad face) is getting depressing. But wings are telling that theres a lot people are working to return their hop and happiness in society especially who works in hospital and government..etc. Wings are the hope and light.

In this work, I wanted to explore and express my thinking creatively, showing eyes with space planets, sea, and grass, which I love, and the gravity of figures of speech. Also, this piece includes the story of my confusion while in international student life. When I feel depressed or something clouds my head, I think I'm in an unlimited space.

This piece has a story of my vacation last summer with my family, but I was having depression. So from my perspective, everything was nice, but it all seemed dark.

Through this work, I wanted to express many social issues, such as political problems and people's mental problems, which are currently occurring in society, creatively, uniquely, and meaningfully. The magazine attached photos of social news and issues, and included natural environmental issues. Still, furthermore, I placed a model of a trash can, gathered straws to make the tree look rather unfriendly, tied them into iron strings, and put a person in a plastic wrap to create it more unruly. I also used a toy stress ball (squishy) to make the earth and the tide with plastic wrap to make it seem like the earth is in the trash. Otherwise, you can see more small details like the person icon on the trash can and the person in the cereal bottle in the trash can.

This piece expresses my stress about the lookism that people make and shows my mind with an angry face. Also, put little judgment about plastic surgery with the lines on the face that doctors point out to the parts of the face with a marker before doing the plastic surgery. Large-sized brushes were used only to express stronger lines and roughness. I did self-makeup like in the painting, took the picture, and then started painting.

This piece has a story of my international student life. It shows my child portraits that happy and felt confused. Also the left, I expressed the face looks like I'm crying and touched about those memories. The centre of the home is my first homestay house that I lived.

In this work, red shoes express my nightmare while I am running, and the shoes catch me in a horror atmosphere. They have scary teeth and an identity accompanied by collaged papers and clothes.​​ I made it with pink plastic foam and cut it into a real shoe-shaped design, and I also cut it inside. I made it big to seem unrealistic. I used mixed media of acrylic and clothes.

In this work, I expressed the fetus in my mother's womb and the background of the Garden of Eden. The apples on the right and the tree were represented because they are my favorite fruit and represent the Garden of Eden. This work contains religious elements. The hand below is Jesus' hand, but rather than expressing it like Jesus, it is described with a familiar human hand like ours. It was like a close relationship between me and Jesus. My depression and body issues always grow bigger when things or hardships come, so I express the existence of Jesus, who tries to take me out of curled up as if I were pulling the umbilical cord out of that depression. Main message of this painting is the world has many good things, but the situation conveys that you can overcome enough and not be afraid.

My brand logo, theme designed characters are in the pieces with collage. Used silk screen techniques.

This project was reinterpretation of few artist. I picked Jeff Koons work style and start to paint and study express shiny parts as super exaggeration. I tried painting the Balloon Dog with Balloon poop to make a unique fun expression.

Through this piece, I wanted to compare my memories of Vancouver and Toronto. Vancouver had a few dark memories and a new bright start in Toronto, so I wanted to express the upside and the downside to be unique like a movie scene.

In this piece, one rich pig is staring at the fox in the cage car. But few of the pigs know who is right, and also that the rich pig is racist too.
