new joseon identity (2020)
creative direction + costume design
the [new joseon identity] is a look into a future Korea where social media takes a toxic turn. in response to the growing surveillance and dependence on realizing a digital identity, the gender-less generation reverts back to traditional dress and practices digital abstinence. those who choose to participate in the new joseon identity focus on becoming a symbol of the new generation, asking to be photographed and documented as icons. the passive interaction with social media marks the unfortunate reality of our dependence on digital relationships.

habitable (2016)
installation design + exhibition design
[habitable] is a story about survival. humans are able to survive in extreme conditions because of our adaptability and flexibility in creating a home. home and shelter were once synonymous- but gradually we have begun to identify home with comfort rather than survival. this piece is meant to understand what it means to be living rather than surviving.
