About
I was born in Germany in 1995 and grew up bilingual, speaking both Korean and German. From an early age, I developed a passion for drawing, painting, and storytelling. After completing my studies at the Kunsthochschule Kassel in 2020, I now work in the fields of illustration, graphic storytelling, and content creation.My personal interests span a wide range of subjects, including history, archaeology, theology, physics, literature, and linguistics – all of which serve as a source of inspiration to me. I find great joy in transforming abstract concepts into tangible, visual forms. I see art as the language that can give shape to the intangible. Exploring different motifs and themes is also a fun part of my creative process.In addition to being fluent in Korean, German, and English, I am currently studying Modern Hebrew.Education
