My creative process started with a very simple feeling—"naked" was the first keyword I gave myself when I was a sophomore in college.

I've mentioned the word "naked" countless times. Initially, it resonated with my inability to connect with the female body and the unspeakable yet crucial issues I had. At that time, I tried to express the shock and emotion I felt when I first entered a girls' dormitory in my work. "A space where we can be honest with each other and accept nakedness" is the source of the "Private Bathhouse" series. It even contains a kind of rebellious sentiment using gender as a slogan, or questioning the symbols that correspond to this body. The body, this unchangeable symbol imposed on me, is how I see myself, and also a view of the self that has been otherized. This kind of view is the main reason for nakedness.

The eyes that have been othered act like a censorship mechanism within my body, constantly capturing, revealing, and reminding me of all the inappropriate impurities.

In this process, the self and the othered self are in opposition yet in flux, and it seems that I am constantly questioning my identity through creation...
