The Time is Now
There is no better time than now to investigate and promote sustainable answers to the dynamics of consumption. I address current wasteful practices, food shortages, and environmental stresses by linking ecological issues to a diverse array of artistic operations and tactics.
In the end, I aspire to create projects that are rigorous and poetic in their conceptual processes where passive viewers become empowered participants. The Seoul Art Space GEUMCHEON Residency has allowed the support to further develop and share with the Geumcheon community these critical issues we all may face in the near future.
