The Glass House

Visual Identity
2025

The Glass House, designed by architect Philip Johnson, is both a residential space and an experimental site where multiple structures coexist to form a complex architectural landscape. Rather than standing alone, each building engages in a spatial dialogue with the others. This identity focuses on the unique character of each structure, the relationships between them, and the interaction between parts and the whole.

still,life

Poster, NFC Card set
2023

"still, life" is a set of nine cards that connects real and virtual life. The set consists of unfolded 3D scanned objects and still life. Pairing this set with a mobile device opens up a new dimension. Real-world objects are transformed into three-dimensional still life on the screen, with each card displayed to be viewed from a specific angle without texture, creating a unique experience that can only be had on a digital screen.

Too Cute to Be True

Publication
2025

Cuteness isn’t just about being adorable, innocent, or naive. What else can it do? It can mask something sinister, soften the ugly, and hold the power to critique. "Too Cute to Be True" is a zine full of things you’d think are just cute. I collect moments where cuteness hides something beneath. By keeping a bubbly editorial voice, the hidden truth within cuteness comes through ironically.

Circle or Curtain

Web
2023

The 'Curtain or Circle' serves as a gate delineating the border between the screen and reality. The juxtaposition of 'curtain' and 'circle' prompts viewers to consider the technical reality of on-screen images and how the screen shapes their perception. Positioned between the unreal and the real, the paradise images on the curtain respond to user movements, immersing them in the screen's illusion while also prompting reflection on the portrayed interaction. With an interplay between the digital and the physical, it invites users to immerse themselves in a paradisiacal oceanic environment with just the touch of a button, a tranquil beach at sunset where waves gently lap against the shore.

SPECIAL OCCASIONS

Web, Publication, Video
2024

"SPECIAL OCCASIONS" captures the unique imperfection of technology and how they shape our perception of reality. The most cliché scene of a family of four dining together is depicted as a special occasion in this idealized reality generated by AI. In a world filled with surreal images, this work focuses on creating the most ordinary and realistic images as represented by technology and then tweaking them through the perspective of AI. This approach allows us to feel a range of emotions, from warm memories to alienation, as technology tries to accurately depict human society.

Bloom Stripe

Installation
2024

"Bloom Stripe" is an installation that wraps a screen in wrapping paper, creating a bouquet sculpture. The screen displays a video of flowers blooming, transformed into stripe patterns through a color algorithm. With technology adding a new layer, we see the same image but experience a completely new visual reality. Technology subtly alters our perception, playing with the gap between what is real and what is perceived. What emotions do we feel when we face another reality derived from the one we know? The tension between alienation and fascination reflects our ambiguous relationship with digital transformations of familiar realities.

Remove Nipples

Publication
2024

How does AI view and regulate women's bodies? I've noticed that while AI claims to protect us from harmful content, it often excessively restricts images of women's bodies. Ironically, it also generates more pornographic content through its algorithms. This reflects a continuation of the male gaze, and 'Remove Nipples' shows how society still imposes control over women's bodies through AI censorship.

Alt barrier 2021: voice-over-text

Web, Stamp Set
2021

"Alt barrier 2021: voice-over-text" is a visual representation of lethargy experienced in the process of datafication of messages in our society. Texts encountered in the street are deeply infused in our lives in which we support the words and process as we understand their desperation. Also, witnessing their voice being buried in oblivion by a centralized power causes a feeling of helplessness. I experience an identical emotion aroused from the messages replaced with alt text by artificial intelligence that is ignorant of the meaning further beyond the picture.

JAG FIG

Web, Publication
2021

"JAG FIG" archives the figures generated by applying the 2x2 square module rule to the Jaggies, a morphological characteristic that appears in rasterized images. Image narratives derived from the words Jag and Fig experiment with the difference in texture according to the bit that forms the raster image through data conversions such as zoom in-out, overlap, and color.

Zoom Paradise

Web, Poster
2021

"Zoom Paradise" creates a new paradise space by recombining separated backgrounds and objects. Users experience a new unreal space through the combination of randomly generated objects and backgrounds. Zoom's virtual background reveals a new space while hiding information exposed in the background surrounding the object. The image of paradise space constantly makes us realize that this is not reality. Nevertheless, we do not have much doubt that the virtual background is not real. Paradise in the virtual background is a space outside of reality and coexists with reality, and we are adapting to communication based on this unreality.

DO NOT TOUCH

AR Filter, Prints
2023

"Do Not Touch" uses Google Translate’s AR live translation feature to blur the line between the tangible and intangible. The translated text overlays real-world objects, matching their original form but constantly shifting with the viewer’s movement. As users interact through gestures, the digital layer resists fixation, revealing and concealing the object beneath. The work turns a translation tool into an interface, prompting reflection on how we touch, read, and interpret through technology.

Duck to Duck

Installation, Video
2024

"Duck to Duck" is a series of 3D-printed sculptures and a morphing video that explores the transformation of a rubber duck through the processes of 3D scanning and printing. Each reproduction distorts the original, showing how digital tools reconstruct reality and generate deceptive representations. The rubber duck symbolizes how digital technologies complicate our understanding of what is real, as each iteration moves further from the original. The project reveals that digital reproduction is not a mere replication but creates altered versions, blurring the line between reality and its reproduction.

A typeface developed as part of the "JAG FIG" project’s process. The 2×2 square module rule is applied to the borders surrounding the characters, exploring shape variations based on pixel configuration. It consists of three styles: the 'Jag' and 'Fig' display types, and the 'Jagfig' text type.

Bullshit Index

Web
2024

"Bullshit Index" is an archive of misleading beliefs, things once believed but now considered debunked or unfounded. The bullshit in this index ranges from lighthearted and humorous misunderstandings to serious, impactful deceptions that have shaped public perception or policy. This index captures how these beliefs are formed, spread, and eventually lead to disillusionment, focusing the social and psychological dynamics behind their persistence and eventual collapse.

labeled noise

Installation, Web, Publication
2019

The way artificial intelligence reads images is not yet complete, and it creates a strange sense of confusion because there is a difference from the way humans think. “labeled noise” is a visual research that defines noise, an imperfect thinking process of artificial intelligence, and archiving the the result of image recognition. The new search term classifies the image as noise while also becoming the new label for the image. As the same image is interpreted as a completely different label, we question which one should be labeled on the image. Depending on the number of operations of the image iteration, the message is distorted, regardless of its intention. When the search term is derived from the apple to the apple again and delivered without distortion of meaning, no noise exists, and a new label is generated only when noise exists.
