My work often begins with existing texts, images, or personal records, which I reorganize within repetitive systems. Through acts of erasure, overwriting, and suspension, I consider memory not as something fixed or resolved, but as a state that remains partially unread, continuing to persist without settling into a complete narrative.<\/p><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div align=\"justify\"><p>My engagement with grid-based structures began in 2024 with the <em>Doodle Rhythms<\/em> series, where rhythm and repetition shaped the surface of the work. Over time, the grid has shifted from a compositional device into a quieter framework that holds traces of time. Within this structure, recording and erasure coexist, allowing images and texts to appear while remaining unstable. In series such as <em>Memories<\/em> and <em>Unread Records<\/em>, typography emerges as a space where language is present yet unsettled, moving between legibility and obscurity.<\/p><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div align=\"justify\"><p>Working through controlled systems and restrained gestures, I focus on the tension between what is preserved and what fades away. Rather than aiming to complete a story, my work stays with what remains unresolved, allowing meaning to pause and memory to continue unfolding without conclusion.<\/p><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<div align=\"justify\"><p>\ub098\ub294 \uadf8\ub9ac\ub4dc, \ud0c0\uc774\ud3ec\uadf8\ub798\ud53c, \ub514\uc9c0\ud138 \ud504\ub85c\uc138\uc2a4\ub97c \ud1b5\ud574 \uae30\uc5b5\uc774 \uc5b4\ub5bb\uac8c \uae30\ub85d\ub418\uace0 \uad6c\uc870\ud654\ub418\uba70, \ub05d\ub0b4 \uc644\uacb0\ub418\uc9c0 \uc54a\uc740 \uc0c1\ud0dc\ub85c \ub0a8\ub294\uc9c0\ub97c \ud0d0\uad6c\ud55c\ub2e4. \ub098\uc758 \uc791\uc5c5\uc740 \uae30\uc874\uc758 \ud14d\uc2a4\ud2b8, \uc774\ubbf8\uc9c0, \uac1c\uc778\uc801 \uae30\ub85d\uc5d0\uc11c \ucd9c\ubc1c\ud574 \ubc18\ubcf5\uc801\uc778 \uc2dc\uc2a4\ud15c \uc548\uc5d0\uc11c \uc774\ub97c \uc7ac\uad6c\uc131\ud55c\ub2e4. \uc9c0\uc6b0\uae30\uc640 \ub36e\uc5b4\uc4f0\uae30, \uadf8\ub9ac\uace0 \uc815\uc9c0\uc758 \ud589\uc704\ub97c \ud1b5\ud574 \uae30\uc5b5\uc744 \uace0\uc815\ub418\uac70\ub098 \ud574\uacb0\ub41c \uac83\uc73c\ub85c \ubcf4\uae30\ubcf4\ub2e4, \uc644\uc804\ud55c \uc11c\uc0ac\ub85c \uc815\ucc29\ub418\uc9c0 \uc54a\uc740 \ucc44 \ubd80\ubd84\uc801\uc73c\ub85c \uc77d\ud788\uc9c0 \uc54a\ub294 \uc0c1\ud0dc\ub85c \uc9c0\uc18d\ub418\ub294 \uacfc\uc815\uc73c\ub85c \ubc14\ub77c\ubcf8\ub2e4.<\/p><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div align=\"justify\"><p>\uadf8\ub9ac\ub4dc \uad6c\uc870\uc5d0 \ub300\ud55c \ud0d0\uad6c\ub294 2024\ub144 <em>Doodle Rhythms<\/em> \uc2dc\ub9ac\uc988\uc5d0\uc11c \uc2dc\uc791\ub418\uc5c8\uc73c\uba70, \ub9ac\ub4ec\uacfc \ubc18\ubcf5\uc740 \ud654\uba74\uc744 \uad6c\uc131\ud558\ub294 \uc8fc\uc694\ud55c \uc694\uc18c\ub85c \uc791\ub3d9\ud588\ub2e4. \uc774\ud6c4 \uadf8\ub9ac\ub4dc\ub294 \ub2e8\uc21c\ud55c \uad6c\uc131 \uc7a5\uce58\ub97c \ub118\uc5b4, \uc2dc\uac04\uc758 \ud754\uc801\uc744 \ub2f4\uc544\ub0b4\ub294 \ubcf4\ub2e4 \uc870\uc6a9\ud55c \ud2c0\ub85c \ubcc0\ud654\ud588\ub2e4. \uc774 \uad6c\uc870 \uc548\uc5d0\uc11c \uae30\ub85d\uacfc \uc9c0\uc6c0\uc740 \uacf5\uc874\ud558\uba70, \uc774\ubbf8\uc9c0\uc640 \ud14d\uc2a4\ud2b8\ub294 \ub4dc\ub7ec\ub098\uba74\uc11c\ub3c4 \ubd88\uc548\uc815\ud55c \uc0c1\ud0dc\ub97c \uc720\uc9c0\ud55c\ub2e4. <em>Memories<\/em>\uc640 <em>Unread Records<\/em> \uc2dc\ub9ac\uc988\uc5d0\uc11c\ub294 \ud0c0\uc774\ud3ec\uadf8\ub798\ud53c\uac00 \uc5b8\uc5b4\uac00 \uc874\uc7ac\ud558\uc9c0\ub9cc \ud655\uc815\ub418\uc9c0 \uc54a\uc740 \uc0c1\ud0dc\ub85c \uba38\ubb34\ub294 \uacf5\uac04\uc73c\ub85c \uc791\ub3d9\ud558\uba70, \uac00\ub3c5\uc131\uacfc \ubaa8\ud638\ud568 \uc0ac\uc774\ub97c \uc624\uac04\ub2e4.<\/p><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div align=\"justify\"><p>\ub098\ub294 \uc808\uc81c\ub41c \ud589\uc704\uc640 \ud1b5\uc81c\ub41c \uc2dc\uc2a4\ud15c\uc744 \ud1b5\ud574 \ubb34\uc5c7\uc774 \ubcf4\uc874\ub418\uace0 \ubb34\uc5c7\uc774 \uc0ac\ub77c\uc9c0\ub294\uc9c0 \uadf8 \uc0ac\uc774\uc758 \uae34\uc7a5\uc5d0 \uc8fc\ubaa9\ud55c\ub2e4. \ub098\uc758 \uc791\uc5c5\uc740 \ud558\ub098\uc758 \uc774\uc57c\uae30\ub97c \uc644\uacb0\ud558\ub824 \ud558\uae30\ubcf4\ub2e4, \ud574\uc18c\ub418\uc9c0 \uc54a\uc740 \uc0c1\ud0dc\uc5d0 \uba38\ubb34\ub974\uba70 \uc758\ubbf8\uac00 \uc7a0\uc2dc \uba48\ucd94\uace0 \uae30\uc5b5\uc774 \ub05d\uc5c6\uc774 \ud3bc\uccd0\uc9c0\ub294 \uc9c0\uc810\uc744 \ub4dc\ub7ec\ub0b4\uace0\uc790 \ud55c\ub2e4.<\/p><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I explore how memories are recorded, structured, and left incomplete through grids, typography, and digital processes.
