UNDEFINED
At times when I see myself deeply in my lowest part, I constantly see something broken or deficient in me.
When I love, I think about my shortcomings.
What I hate is sometimes a reflection of myself,
What I admire is also a reflection of myself.
In someone else's flaws, sometimes I discover my own.
Every being possesses deficiencies.
In others' imperfections, we find beauty.
In every shadow, there's a light.
Among the noise, we find our way
We still love even knowing the flaws.
Perhaps it's through those flaws that we can love.
Something broken or deficient comes more naturally to me.
Sometimes it is the body. Sometimes the mind.
We both have similar flaws, yet I wonder why I can love them while struggling to love myself.
In a world of standards, we lose sight.
Maybe perfection is not beyond possibility but, simply nonexistent.
Can something that ‘cannot be defined’ exist?
For things that I cannot define, I leave them without defining.
Unsaid, unknown, undefined.
Over the past year, I’ve often been thinking about imperfection in human beings.
Within every being lies imperfections and shortcomings that remain concealed until their stories unfold. We all possess flaws and areas where we fall short. Everyone lives with imperfections and deficiencies. Strangely enough, I often find ourselves drawn to and even more deeply in love with others despite knowing their flaws. I’ve come to realize that flaws can actually be what makes someone or something so endearing, which is why I view imperfection as beautiful. Yet, why is it so challenging to accept our own flaws? In a world where we’re flooded with external expectations and influences, staying true to ourselves has become an demanding task. So, what exactly do I define as ideal beauty?
I reached the realization that flaws are inherent in nature, while perfection, being abstract, cannot be clearly defined. I found that the concept of Wabi-sabi perfectly embodies the beauty that aligns with my values. Wabi-sabi embraces imperfection, impermanence, and simplicity as its guiding aesthetic principles. I incorporated elements that embody both impermanence, incompleteness, and asymmetry, but also their contrasting qualities. I wanted to show both outer perfection and inner imperfection simultaneously.
Fabric seemed to effortlessly capture these qualities. With its flexibility and capacity to adapt to various shapes, fabric defies rigid definition of form. It felt like the most ‘natural’ material.
To me, the circle embodies perfection. In Western cultures, it symbolizes heaven, the cosmos, the sun, and the moon. In Eastern cultures, it signifies harmony and unity, representing the natural world. Circles encapsulate both perfection and the essence of nature.

I created a pattern using only circles on a rectangular piece of fabric. This fabric can be used as a poster or worn as a poncho. When it is neatly arranged and symmetrical, we can observe patterns that symbolize flawless perfection. But when a person wears the fabric, the patterns become distorted and broken, reflecting the imperfections of humanity. The uneven arrangement of holes around the person highlights our flaws.
We always live with these imperfections, sometimes these makes people to grow, to love each other, and provide a personal compass through life’s maze. We exist around irregularities and imperfection, shaping our existence.

The photos used in Memoriweave were all taken during 2022-2023, a time when I traveled a lot. While these memories expanded my view of the world and my sense of self, they also deepened my appreciation for home and the stability it brings. Through Memoriweave, I wanted to capture and express this realization—blending elements of my travel memories with the feeling of valuing home.
A Bag for Keys
. This is an object that might does not exist in the world: A Bag for Keys. The bag only just for house keys, symbolizes the sense of home that I cherish. It reflects the simple act of entering a space that is mine alone, connecting me to comfort and familiarity.
Beoseon
The theme of "contrast" expanded on the differences between foreign countries and Korea. The beoseon (버선), a traditional Korean sock with a unique curved design, was chosen as a symbol of home, connecting to Korean roots. Traditionally crafted to provide warmth and comfort, beoseon is often worn indoors, especially during colder seasons.
Made with digitally printed fabric, it takes on a fresh, contemporary feel in this interpretation.

A series of pattern designs printed on fabric, created from the photos I took throughout my travels in 2022-3.
With the photos I captured throughout my travels in 2022-3, I’ve created a series of pattern designs. The repetition of simple scenes turns them into detailed patterns, giving a fresh perspective on the moment.

Peace was all about balance.
Find the center and keep balance, and peace follows. Yet, peace is fragile; even the gentlest breeze or smallest change can unsettle it. As the fleeting moments in our lives that hold beauty in their brevity, peace too is beautiful because of the subtle unease that lies beneath it.
