"Everything exists within me."
Through her artistic creations, she expresses the positive energy and spirit she experienced in her childhood using colours and objects. Her childhood experiences and clinical experiments in art therapy revealed to her that “emotional energy” can be moulded to act as a healing power. Through these experiments, she discovered that our “emotional energy” is expressed through colour, which serves as a universal “emotional language” and thus as a medium for healing. Colours have the power to heal. In her work, colour is not merely a visual element; it integrates emotions and senses to reveal the essence of our existence.
The Siru featured in her work is a traditional Korean earthenware vessel used to grow bean sprouts and make rice cakes. When Seon first encountered the Siru during a period of loss in her childhood, she identified with the old, rough, grey pottery that seemed to breathe yet remained invisible. As she grew older, she realised that the Siru and our lives share similar qualities. She used this natural phenomenon repeatedly as an artistic motif, symbolising growth and change. This motif is repeatedly expressed throughout several mediums, such as porcelain, paper, photography, and colour. Through these mediums, she seeks a subtly dreamlike and painterly expression. This approach goes beyond the simple transmission of visual information to emphasise the sensory experience, aiming to evoke a positive energy within our senses.
