When objects are viewed with pure sense, they are just bodies in a space. To see things with pure sense means that it removes the notional existence of them and their individuality. In that moment, everything from bodies to light and shadow becomes an expanded image.

In my paintings, I express the way bodies are looked under the pure sense. And I extract some parts of the paintings to make new forms.

​ Although no words can be defined as the beauty in its process, my intention is to make new forms by bringing out the lines and the colors from already existing figures.

Kim’s work represents “a quiet simplicity” outwardly, but it contains enormous practice to improve the technical degree of completion within. The main characteristic of her work is the purity of form, adding surface geometric decoration which enhances, and never interferes with, the original form.
