I am interested in capturing the fleeting moments of the uncanny as I experience it during my daily life and travels, when it changes familiar scenes into something special. During my stay in Glasgow, the changeable weather allows me to perceive various appearances of the same place. Intervals of sunshine during the many cloudy days in this city allow me to experience stronger sensations of light and colour, in ways different from Seoul. I have recently tried to capture these unfamiliar moments and to compose my memories into a pictorial space while meticulously exploring different elements of painterly language.
