My lighting objects are made of rattan and handmade mulberry tree paper, which is tear-resistant and moisture-resistant. Hundreds of handcrafted sheets of pleated, cut, coloured, and twisted tissue paper sheets are arranged to form organic shapes. The twisted tips give a lively appearance, reminiscent of living beings.

I have showcased my light creations in Korea, my home country. Some elderly Koreans can draw connections between my artwork and the traditional lotus lanterns that adorn the streets during Buddha's birthday festivities in May. However, as I have honed my own techniques and evolved the forms over time, the association has become less obvious.

While studying at HfbK in Hamburg, I attended their workshops extensively, delving into ceramics and video experimentation. Working with my hands has always been a profound passion of mine. In the realm of free art, I delighted in crafting collages and employing the arrow symbol as a motif, akin to my use of paper on illuminated objects today.

My objects are covered with nearly identical sheets of paper. The way I glue the folded papers determines the overall harmony of the shape and size of the lighting. With each folded paper sheet having a tip, I can orient them in different directions, adding a high level of liveliness and dynamism to the surface. It is the lighting that adds an extra touch of drama.
