lens- and language-based

(she/her)
카메라, 필름, 노트 앱을 도구 삼아 작업한다. 장소와 비장소, 모국어와 외국어, 존재와 비존재, 번역과 오독 같은 경계의 이야기를 매번 다른 표정을 빌려 반복한다. 이를 발화하기에 가장 잘 맞는 언어를 연구하며 갱신하고 있다.

I work with a camera, film, and note-taking apps as my apparatus. I repeatedly return to stories of boundaries—places and non-places, mother tongue and foreign language, existence and non-existence, translation and misinterpretation—each time with a different face. I study and renew the language that best gives voice to them.
