❺ Selected Projects
Process-based works grounded in risograph, screenprint, etching, lithograph, and letterpress. Printmaking here becomes more than reproduction—it’s a method of storytelling, of building physical traces and temporal layers, often informed by nostalgia, language, and texture.
Submerged Nostalgia
Stone lithograph, hand-drawn on limestone with crayon and ink wash. Captures a dreamscape city submerged in memory—quiet, distant, and fading like an old photograph.
Digitally recolored version. The blue hue references CMYK fading—where UV light erodes magenta and yellow first, leaving cyan behind, like memories washed in time.
About the Project
A city remembered not as it was, but as it felt—distant, glowing, and slowly dissolving.
Submerged Nostalgia is a stone lithograph based on my childhood memories of Seoul—filtered through imagination and time. The image was hand-drawn on limestone using crayon and ink wash, depicting a dreamlike cityscape that floats between architecture and reflection.
Rather than rendering Seoul with accuracy, I approached the composition through the lens of feeling: how the city looked to me as a child, and how it lingers now in fragments—blurry, glowing, half-submerged in memory.
The black-and-white lithograph was later digitally reinterpreted in blue. That blue carries layered meaning: it evokes water, night, and fading memory. The color choice references CMYK printing, where prolonged UV exposure destroys yellow and magenta pigments first—leaving behind a ghostly cyan cast. To me, that lingering blue is what memory feels like: not gone, but altered, light-washed, and quietly drifting.
The result is an emotional map of place and time—anchored in physical process, yet submerged in recollection.
