This is the story of an alienated Korean boy’s rebellion,
Chasing raw beauties that made his heart beat, finding connections to the world
Meeting diverse people, gaining warmth and comfort along the way.
Stepping into the bigger world, his rebellion becomes bigger than himself.

Absence and emotions ate at him, shaping his point of view.
His personal view has developed, aiming to become a voice and a form of rebellion,
To carry greater meaning for spaces and cities he belongs to, for our generation, and for this present era.
What began in Seoul continues in Berlin. In this rough new city redefining,
-“Who am I ?”
“Where did I come from?”

Drawing from past experiences organizing underground raves in Seoul,
I seek to continue my path as an independent multimedia artist.
By fusing photography, visual art, music, raves and cultural events,
I hope to bring the same fire from Seoul to Berlin to merge subcultures and minorities together to evoke new ideas within a safe space.

I first picked up a camera as a way to resist social norms and mainstream values, and to look at the world through my own lens.
Over the past four years, I have accumulated a body of work that I am now beginning to share with the world to evolve with it.

Moving beyond personal narratives, as an East Asian residing in one of the western creative capitals, Berlin,
I aim to further explore and engage with my expanding interests through photography and visual art particularly in relation to
minorities, BIPOC representation, social structures, global politics, western systems, capitalism, and decolonization.

With this perspective, I also intend to further engage in organizing spaces, raves, and collectives.
To dismantle any hierarchy and social stereotypes or stigma, where everyone can feel safe as themselves.
I believe in the power of cultural collectivism. While staying politically charged, my goal with organization is to bring to life cultural projects, mixing many diverse cultures that amplify human-to-human connections driving out discrimination and hatred.

Asking for support on this journey,
I hope to offer a small sense of comfort and hope to the anxious teenage self I once was, and to all of us living through anxious times today.
I hope that the voices of exchange and solidarity shared by us who feel the same
will reach the many places around the world - where justice is needed.
