My Room (2008)
I developed this idea of modular outer structures and inner suspended structures, and design “My Room” for people’s living space. In this project, “My Room,” all furniture is suspended off the ground, attached to an overhanging beam, enabling the utilization of an entire cubic structure. This will eliminate wasted space that normally accompanies stiff ground traditional furniture.
My Typology (2007) – Online + Offline Project

I have been interested in “glocalized” visual languages functioning as different meanings in different cultures. While studying both in the United Sates and Korea, I frequently travel between the two countries and am fascinated by globalized pop images that have different significances in each culture. In the project, “My Typology,” I extracted 10 common elements out of 36 globalized body images I have been collected since my teenage years, from different cultures and different times, and made a website to interlink the images. The result of the project suggests that each visual element has different contexts and meanings in different cultures, inducing different interpretation of the same image.
