"Surviving Weight" is an exploration of quiet endurance of what it means to keep floating when everything inside feels heavy. These sculptural paintings live in the fragile space between numbness and persistence, where even stillness becomes an act of survival and flow.

These watercolor works are created through travel, movement, and sustained observation, capturing cities as emotional landscapes shaped by people, architecture, and the quiet language of emotions, time and clothing. Drawn on location while moving between places, the work reflects how arriving, leaving, and passing through heightens awareness, how space is felt differently when one is not fully rooted.

A watercolor painting created for Weave Hotel in Seoul, this work offers a painted interpretation of the hotel’s facade and surrounding environment through direct observation and urban sketching. Rather than depicting the building as architecture alone, the painting reflects Weave as a transitional space — a temporary home that holds people during moments of change. Short-term living spaces like Weave function as emotional stepping stones, often inhabited by foreigners, travelers, and individuals navigating relocation, uncertainty, and the search for long-term stability or belonging.
