Visual artist creating artifacts, invented gods, artificial landscapes and narration through installation, video and photography.
Born and raised in Chile from South Korean parents who are part of a diaspora and drastic cultural changes in the peninsula that took place in the 70s.
The work develops melancholy for a hometown that could never be visited; lost in time and in what we call development. It is a unusual way of documentation of family oral tradition and a way of understanding the cultural rupture that happened between immigration and globalization. Meditates in the lost of tradition and origin.
