  In my art, I would like to heal my audiences from any kind of pain from looking at my art, provoke of current issues like dog abuses, and realize they are not alone with having any type of fear, and we should try to confront the fear together. My fear, that I described as a sculpture, is fear of crowded places. When I am at crowded places, I feel like I am trapped around these strangers, these atmospheres make me breathe less unconsciously, and eventually its hard for me to breathe even though I am forcing myself to breathe. I think my fear of crowded places got better from starting to go to decently crowded places often times. 

  About expressing pain, I drew 'My Circling Brain' painting, and photoshopped 'Inside My Head' to express my migraine, and nausea as an art to to tell a story to audiences that it was hard for me to endure those pains. But, I also how I ended up overcoming those pains, and now I am at Penn State to pursue a degree on Fine Arts major instead of giving up on my fight against my pain.

  Lastly, I always had interest of dogs since I was a little kid. But I never knew about abused dogs in our world, and when I did, I had so much interest to save them from the abuses. In the process of researching about abused dogs, I found so many abused dogs are also in South Korea. Eventually, our family rescued a dog from dogs caged place in South Korea, and he is the dog that has been our family member for 7 years, and also the subject of the 'My True Friend' drawing.

  I hope my drawings can heal audiences by giving them comfort, provoke for right cause, make our society better, and lastly confront our fears with people who also have their fear to confront with.
