I blend a world of dreamlike gentleness with a celebration of the body and the living.

Attracted by fantastical imaginary worlds, I build a universe where female nudity meets impromptu elements of nature: clouds, water, peaches, leaves, peonies, field flowers and more. These elements form bridges between women's skin and the living world. My universe invites the viewer to question the links between man and nature. By exploring these links, my works go beyond simple sensuality to celebrate, in a profound and radical way, the freedom that inspires them. Reflecting my own trajectory, my creations embody the freedom I seek to achieve.

As a young girl in a traditional Korean society, my possibilities of expression were very limited. Daring was not tolerated, and exposure of the body was reserved for public baths between people of the same sex. Everything was taboo, a situation increasingly difficult to bear, even without being aware of a different world. That's why I asked my parents to send me to the United States to study. After years of persuasion, at the age of 13 I went to live with my aunt in New York, where my adventures and self-discovery really began. After finishing university and graduating from the Beaux-Arts, I moved to Paris, where I faced a culture shock between the U.S. and France, where so much was different.

I entered the fashion world as a journalist for Harper's Bazaar Korea, thinking that growing up and succeeding professionally was the way forward. However, something wasn't quite right. When the Depression hit, I realized I had to give up my full-time job to devote myself to my true means of expression: creation.
