    Description

    The brutal reality of non-Korean labourers entailing mistreatment and oppression wasn’t directly presented through the imagery of this artwork. Rather, the neutral gaze and the partial depiction of a whole scenery hindered audiences to acknowledge the gist of these drawings. As growing up, I have started to be aware of how I used to look at fragments of an entire issue and not to put effort so as to see what is beyond the presented parts. Thus, via the cropped image and the sharp drawing style, I attempted to challenge the viewers to envision the reason why the figures are posing like that in the artwork; I hoped the audiences will pay attention to the subjects’ reality.

    Including this work and a series of drawings titled ‘Sleeping’, I used the sketchbook that has been kept intact from my childhood. By drawing on my childhood sketchbook, I aimed to contrast the wickedness of such an issue and the innocence that is resonated through the aged sketchbook.

    Concept

    How to render silenced voices to be heard through art and what are implications of this deed have been the focal ideas in my art practice. My journey of searching for answers has commenced by examining women’s stories that are mostly derived from Korean society. Addressing issues related to women’s lives has embodied private and public interpretations of the matters. That is, throughout my practice, steady interactions with people have played a key role; it has strengthened my faith in art as a line of dialogues.

    I have perceived my work of creatively escalating socio-cultural issues in Korean society as an act of charting Korean society by reflecting the voices of socially and culturally underrepresented people. As an artist attempting to raise voices about issues in society, the carefulness of which narrative and aspect I am empowering has always been underlain in my artworks. As well, the idea of how to maintain this action of elevating the voices of others has resulted in my inclination to create series of works for the long term. The precaution of who I am representing and the sustainability of acts are the points where I perceive my art practice embracing ethea of activism.

    My recent works in particular allude to the issues regarding the stances of non-Korean labourers in Korea, focusing on silenced voices and their repercussions. The theme was examined by investigating the precarity of non-Korean labourers and the role of the authorities. I have addressed the issues in the labour industry with a focus on two different loci: factories and agricultural workspaces.
