"For the upcoming resid­ency program, I am excited to embark on a three-month artistic journey in Lenzburg, Switzer­land. As a multi-discip­linary artist working across painting, sculp­ture, textiles, and install­a­tions, my prac­tice is deeply rooted in soci­etal phenomena, exploring issues and indi­viduals within society. This resid­ency offers a unique oppor­tunity to delve into the theme "InterGen­er­a­tions," reflecting my ongoing commit­ment to under­standing and bridging gener­a­tional and soci­etal divides.
During my time in Lenzburg, I intend to immerse myself in this remote envir­on­ment from my daily routine, embra­cing the tran­quility it offers to focus on my artistic prac­tice without distrac­tions. Enga­ging with new surround­ings and people will be invalu­able, providing fresh perspect­ives and inspir­a­tion. A signi­ficant aspect of this resid­ency will involve organ­izing work­shops and cooking sessions, fostering connec­tions with resid­ents through shared culinary exper­i­ences.
Drawing from my Korean heritage, I plan to host Kimbap-making sessions. Kimbap, a beloved Korean dish, symbol­izes community and harmony, much like the soci­etal unity I strive to portray in my art. By intro­du­cing locals to Kimbap and exploring new ingredi­ents together, we will create oppor­tun­ities for cross-cultural under­standing and mean­ingful conver­sa­tions.
These inter­ac­tions and shared exper­i­ences will not only enhance my artistic vision but also serve as a cultural bridge, fostering healthy rela­tion­ships and promoting a healthy life­style through food. Docu­menting these moments will further enrich my artwork, high­lighting the power of art to tran­scend borders, race, and gener­a­tional divides. I am confident that this resid­ency will lead to new artistic chal­lenges and achieve­ments, driven by the inspir­a­tion drawn from the vibrant community of Lenzburg and the serene envir­on­ment that surrounds it."
