MinJi Kim (Artist) in Seoul (South Korea) from Re-title.com

I started my works proposing the following: the personal is the universal, i.e. my issue can be yours, and your issue expands to theirs, therefore my voice can be ours eventually. In other words efforts to investigate the inner self becomes, paradoxically enough, to understand the outer world better at the same time. Although symbolic objects or images in my pieces, likely found in psychoanalytic interpretation, represent questions, my questions don't necessarily require the answers. The objects I have used are related to myself such as the images regularly appeared in dreams, fragments of my childhood memories, and desire etc. I cannot deny my works under the surrealistic impression since every element is mixed together beyond time and space. It is not always pleasant to deal with the past and ambiguous future. Yet despite the irreversible past, I wish to be able to edit it well for better myself tomorrow. I believe that all personal history should create any form of smile ultimately and want this happening through my work. My nostalgia - emancipation of ego, thoughts, romanticism, honesty, courage, question, originality, nature, and nausea...
