Shadows of Seoul
About the Project
Shadows of Seoul reflects on the layered impressions of childhood memories—those that shift, overlap, and evolve like light through stained glass. Inspired by the phrase “the eyes are the windows to the soul,” this installation transforms a literal window into a metaphorical lens—one that merges the external landscape of Seoul with an internal world shaped by nostalgia.
Created with hand-drawn stencils using paint markers on draft film, the imagery was screenprinted in process cyan, magenta, and yellow, with clear gloss gel added to control translucency. Layered and mounted on glass, the transparent sheets behave like memory—fragmented, vibrant, always in flux. As natural light passes through, the installation casts overlapping shadows and prismatic color shifts onto the floor and wall, echoing Seoul’s vertical rhythm: mountain silhouettes, sidewalk textures, city lights, the pace of a childhood spent in motion.
Throughout the day, the work responds to shifting light. Morning brings soft, diffused washes; by evening, the hues deepen into bold silhouettes. Using split-fountain and monoprint techniques, I let ink flow freely across the screen, creating wave-like transitions that mirror how memory warps, bleeds, and fades over time.
Titled after Seoul’s city slogan, “Seoul, My Soul,” this piece bridges geography and identity. It reframes everyday visual rhythms—the glint of sunlight on concrete, the flicker of shadows across buildings—as a personal topography. Shadows of Seoul invites viewers to look not just through a window, but into the soul of a place remembered, reimagined, and remade in color.
