The city I moved to this year is a very small town. The city is very close to the sea, and you can easily see birds that are hard to see in big cities like cranes while taking a walk. People are very kind, and My dogs Mori and Cherry are so good to take a walk in nature. It may be a little boring, but I still enjoy the world full of green.

Green, Natural, Calm

I’ve been drawing since I was really young. There was nothing to do in my hometown when I was little. So I enjoyed drawing whatever I want with my friends and collecting seashells with my grandfather nearby his ship and watched a lot of animation. I believe this experience helped me find what I am going to do and develop imaginations in my works. One day, I was thinking I wanted to have more experience for my life and my works that I decided to go to New York and had a lot of good opportunities to meet various people, cultures, and many more.

There were many people around me who actively helped me do what I wanted to do. Whenever I lost confidence in my work, the phrase “Do whatever you want, that’s the answer.” became the most supportive to me.

Until a few years ago, I had made resolutions such as “I’m going to work with a certain company” or “I’m going to work for a magazine.” But what I feel now is that I want to do what I like for a very long time until I become a grandmother. My current goal is to be a wonderful grandmother.

There is no one in particular, but there is an idea that I would like to work with people in other media fields like music, dance, movies, etc.

In mid-June, illustrators Jinhwa Jang and Damien Jeon, who are currently working together as a project group, will work on a mural project under the theme “Nature” on the city wall where I live now. I’m looking forward to seeing what kind of results the illustration work that has always existed on canvas, paper, and screens will bring to the wall.

Independent, enterprising and free. And I love that, and I want to be like that.

The person I was inspired by is not a creator but my mom.
Although it is changing a lot now, women born in Korea of all generations have forced a certain image of a woman in society. But since I was young, my mom has let me express what I like freely without forcing or asking me to do so. And after growing up, it was really difficult for mothers of that generation to leave their experiences behind and let their children be free.

It is about constantly looking for what you are interested in.

I don’t listen to music these days. I usually listen to sounds such as the sea and grass like the sound of nature.

Every restaurant serving seafood

I sometimes imagine what it would be like to be a person who makes music.

Creating space that doesn’t exist in the real world
