Thoughts and feelings we wish to bring out keeping it for a long time.

Our secrets we hold, keeping them locked away for a while.

This exhibition aims to explore the inner space of every person's heart using a device called a drawer. The outer appearance of a chest of drawers divided into compartments seem silent, but we cannot discern what lies within unless we open it. We often use expressions like 'I can't tell whatโ€™s on that personโ€™s mind' or 'I can easily perceive that personโ€™s thought' to allude to our attempts to understand the invisible and intangible aspects of others. It turns out that we continuously make efforts to understand someoneโ€™s heart.So, if I were to convey my emotions today through visual symbols, I would choose three emoticons that come to mind; a teardrop, a face covering its mouth, and a birthday cake. If I were to place these in a drawer, I would fold the first two items and place them deep inside, while I'd position the birthday cake at the front where it's most visible. In just one day, my heart's mailbox fills with stories of both laughter and tears. However, when I wake up the next day, some of these stories remain as bills. Occasionally, they persist as a weighty burden, while at other times, they transform into delicate, insignificant entities that linger in my space for an extended period.

The artist uses compartments to organize her thoughts. This process is routine and repetitive, much like the way we fold and store laundry. In the same way that objects in drawers are emptied and refilled, persisting within their confines for extended periods, the artist implies that the mind might function similarly. When I look at the artist's painting, it's like peering into a drawer filled with shapes resembling words. I gently open it to see what's inside. In there, I find a mix of things, from forgotten happy memories to a clump of dust. I decide to store the things that make me happy in a new drawer and begin the task of organizing them. However, there's also a locked compartment, hiding something too intimidating to confront.

When I come face to face with myself, the experience of rediscovering my existence through clearer thoughts feels like opening a drawer I may not be ready to explore. The process of tidying up begins with the act of looking within. While engaging with the artist's work, I found that opening a closed drawer was more challenging than anticipated, prompting me to reflect on the true contents of my personal drawer.

In particular, drawers within a desk are regarded as private spaces, often revealing one's true character and preferences at a glance. There have been moments when I perceived my belongings as a reflection of my inner self. Yet, when I express my feelings through art, it's those closest to me who often come to mind.

I superimpose the image of the drawer in my mind onto the artist's work. I seek out elements I can relate to and place my own experiences alongside passages leading to other stories.

Before I knew space beyond the screen had expanded.

<Drawer: Draw Your Mind>

Drawers with divided compartments serve various purposes. Some drawers are used to safeguard precious items from becoming dirty and some are used to hide messiness or unwanted objects.

If we envision a person's heart as having compartments akin to this dresser, what sorts of contents would fill each individual heart-space? Some compartments would brim with cherished words, ones we never wish to fade away. Others might contain words that surge suddenly, while some spaces would house heavy lumps as unyielding as stone, seemingly eternal.

In this exhibition, I have envisioned a heart drawer composed of words and thoughts, intertwining heart and language, and have sought to convey this concept through paintings and sculptures. My aim is to explore the simultaneous collection and distinction of useless words and those we wish to remember.


Q: Besides stories filled with various emotions, what other types of stories have you portrayed in your work?

A: When I ponder this, I believe I'm creating art that narrates everyday stories about universal emotions that anyone can relate to, like love, sadness, and loneliness. However, my true fascination lies in stories that can only unfold within the context of relationships with others, not in solitude.

When I convey such thoughts and feelings through my drawings, they sometimes transform into the weather on a particular day or the scenery surrounding me. They might also find expression in a 'word' from a passage of poetry I've read, or in the stars and moon in the night sky that happened to catch my eye. These sentiments even manifest in images. In this exhibition, we aim to showcase paintings that originate from the simple word 'drawer.'


Q: When I think about your work, it reminds me of poetry. What does it mean to you, as an artist, to be connected to literature?

A: I really enjoy poetry. I read my favorite poems over and over again. Personally, when I read a poem, I like it when there's one sentence or word that stands out from the rest of the poem. In those little pieces of text, different stories or images are linked together, and it feels like I'm creating pictures by condensing or expressing them metaphorically. Among all the questions, the idea of "being in the same literary world" keeps coming to mind, and I believe I'll continue to work closely with poetry and novels.


Q: Looking at a drawer from the outside, you can't see what's inside. The artist's work revolves around elements within a drawer. What motivated you to focus on this concept of 'drawers'?

A: I began exploring the theme of 'drawers' in 2021. It all started when I read a poem titled "Earth Drawer" by poet Byungryul Lee, which inspired me to create a piece called "Sand Drawer." This artwork visualizes the imagery evoked by a poem that delves into the idea of a person's mind compartmentalized into layers, where both heartwarming and cold words are deposited.

Just as good words can return to us in a positive way, even negative words sometimes hold valuable lessons. My aim is to ensure that the negativity of certain words doesn't overshadow the memory of the positive ones. The word 'drawer' used in the poem felt like the perfect word to capture this idea in a painting.

Moreover, as the poem suggests, if we think of the heart as divided into compartments like a chest of drawers, it got me wondering what each person's heart might hold. Some compartments might have words that vanish quickly, while others keep words as heavy as stones. There are also those precious words that we'd prefer to keep hidden from the reach of others. This concept led me to create a series of drawings, imagining them as the contents inside the compartments of my mind. I've gathered these images in preparation for this exhibition, seeing it as an extension of the original artwork titled "Sand Drawer."


Q: It seems like your inner self shines through your paintings, but in a more abstract sense, it also carries a sense of mystery. What kind of connection do you want to create or hope to establish between the audience and your art?

A: I don't want my paintings to be the key to unlocking just one story. While I paint with a particular narrative in mind, some people might focus solely on the artistic elements, disregarding the story, while others may approach my work with their own curiosity about the story it might hold. I think both perspectives are valid. This is why I believe my narrative can open doors to various other narratives in any direction. As it accumulates, it could become our shared story. I hope my paintings can act as a starting point for different stories or perspectives to unfold.


Q: When I observe your artwork, I sometimes get the impression that it was drawn using dry materials. Do you have any specific aims in your exploration of pigments or in developing your unique artistic techniques?

A: I work on Korean paper, using a powdered pigment known as 'bunchae,' which I mix with gum arabic liquid. This 'bunchae' pigment has no shine and is known for its matte texture. It possesses a fascinating quality where the more colors you mix, the more the color takes on a cloudy appearance. I find this enigmatic cloudiness quite appealing. I believe that this color, even when applied in vibrant shades, maintains a subtle gray tint that harmonizes well with the themes and methods of my work.

Furthermore, the whiter the pigment, the more it allows brush strokes to accumulate, creating water stain-like effect. This textured result is one of the aspects of bunchae that I appreciate. As the pigment permeates into the Korean paper, the color emerges on the surface, and upon close examination, you can sense the build-up of brushwork.

For these reasons, I have a genuine fondness for the 'bunchae' pigment. My aspiration is to create art that effectively showcases the distinctive features of this pigment that I like.


Q: If you have a message you'd like to share with visitors through this exhibition, please do so.

A: What shapes do the drawers within your heart hold?
