The Abstract Self

Conceptual Framework

The Abstract Self grows from poetry, music, and the shifting landscapes of memory. My paintings move between Korean heritage and abstract imagination, blending calligraphic rhythm, fragmented symbols, and gestural fields shaped by going, changing, and becoming. Influenced by the New York School, I translate identity, migration, and personal history into color, line, and movement. Each work becomes a quiet record of my life journey — where emotion, rhythm, and memory transfigure into gesture, form, and texture revealing the self not as fixed, but as an evolving terrain shaped by origin and transformation.
