POSTS STORIES REELS TAGGED
Held In Between is a spatial installation that invites touch, embrace, and the release of bodily tension through physical connection. The objects branch out like the roots that once supported the original underground tunnel (Tank-gul, 땅굴) from South Korea, evoking a forgotten image of collective effort and interdependence.

The Shape of Resilience, 2025 

Beneath the ground, my great-grandfather dug the underground tunnel. It was not just a military site, but a quiet act of resistance where visibility ends, survival begins, and wildness breathes. This thesis traces how hidden tunnels (Tank-gul, 땅굴)in South Korea carry memories of violence and care, revealing the urgent need for opacity in a world obsessed with transparency.

대나무 언덕 아래에, 증조부는 마을 공동체와 땅굴을 팠다.
그곳은 단순한 군사 시설이 아니라, 시야가 끝나는 지점에서 생존이 시작되고 야생성이 숨 쉬는 조용한 저항의 장소였다.

이 논문은 한국에 존재하는 개인들의 숨겨진 땅굴들을 추적하며, 그것들이 품고 있는 폭력과 돌봄의 기억을 탐구한다. 이를 통해 투명성에 집착하는 세계 속에서 불투명성이 왜 여전히, 그리고 긴급하게 필요한지를 질문한다.

Mountain Hydrangea is a native plant of Namsan, Korea. It has a unique ecological structure where “fake flowers” that attract insects coexist with “real flowers” that bear fruit. This unique structure serves as a visual metaphor for the relationship between outward appearance and inner essence- or the self we show to others and who we truly are. The intricate brass, crafted to look like real flowers, express the paradox of the showy “fake flowers”. In contrast, the delicate and cloud-like steel mesh represents the hidden “real flowers.” 
The true light shines directly from within the mesh center. As if proving that the hidden inner space is the real source of light, the flower lives on as a lasting landscape through the harmony of different texture of metal and light.

It will be presented at @forwardfurniture_club during the @dutchdesignweek ✨

a: a night in Seoul: A, 2026 

This work captures the deep shadows behind the bright lights of Seoul’s rapid urban development, disappearing places of everyday life, and forgotten childhood memories through light.

Cold stainless steel represents the buildings of Seoul, while the rough folds of traditional Korean silk, Oksa, express layers of time where the past and present overlap. The chain at the back symbolizes the connection of poetic values that should continue without being broken.

a: mirror: A (winter), 2026

Winter is expressed through motifs of an inkstone, books, an oil lamp, and glasses. Together, these motifs portray a quiet landscape of learning, contemplation, and reflection.

동지는 벼루 조각과 책, 등잔, 안경의 도상을 통해 배움과 사색의 시간을 담아냅니다. 도상들은 고요하며 단단한 성찰이 이루어지는 풍경을 그려냅니다.

a:mirror:A, 2026 

The ’a‘ is not one person. It represents anyone who is still searching for themselves. 
The uppercase ’A‘ represents the moment when people see themselves
 in a new way and come face to face with their true selves. 

Each work begins with an ’a‘. Through the work, we invite each viewer to find their own path from ’a‘ to ’A‘.

On the long horizontal panels, custom embroidery tells the brand‘s story in the style of traditional Joseon folk art (Minhwa). 

Between the two folk art panels are ’jangseok‘, traditional metal hinges and corner pieces. Originally used to strengthen the joints of wooden furniture while adding a decorative touch, here the jangseok connects the left and right embroidered panels. This attempts to scale up traditional decorations and apply them to a modern design.

가로로 길게 펼쳐진 패널 위에는 조선 민화의 문법을 빌린, 브랜드의 이야기를 담아낸 창작 민화가 수놓아져 있습니다. 사슴, 연꽃, 제비부터 보석함에서 날아오르는 나비까지, ‘길상’의 요소들은 전통 한복지위에 은색 실로 그려졌습니다. 

두 폭의 민화 사이에는 전통 가구를 장식하던 ‘장석’이 자리합니다. 결구와 모서리를 보강하고, 장식적 완성도를 더하던 장석은 좌우의 자수 패널을 이어주는 장치로 역할 합니다.
