THE RETURN
Jaeyoun Shin
Created 2015.
The work intends to reflect our individuality. I try to express the frustration, sadness, and pain that a soft and spiritless bees survive so hard from their surrounding. They want to run away from their situation, however, they had no choice but to return. The obsession of daily work. Shin incorporates watercolor, acrylic, Asian paper collage and other media to portray the fragility, sensitivity and complexity of memories, emotions and thoughts expressed in her works. Collectively, the paintings are interconnected mindscapes that challenge the idea of personal identity and emotion, describing different boundaries of safe and unsafe environments and various senses of vulnerability. Each work intends to transform the spaces and objects from familiar to unfamiliar, and lets the viewers see different perspectives.
