2026 / The Second Eden

Ongoing series

The Second Eden imagines a world inhabited only by women and animals as an emotional ecosystem shaped by instinct, intimacy, tenderness, and unease.

Through painting, drawing, and research influenced in part by traditional Korean painting, the series explores relationships that exist beyond language and social structure. The works remain intentionally ambiguous, moving between affection, dependence, fear, mourning, and desire.
