    Geographies of Solitude | 2020 - 2025

To me, landscape and the heart resemble one another. That is why I draw maps in which scenerv and emotion intertwine. This is not merely a matter of geographical curiosity; rather, it is an attempt ta reconsider lost places, restore a sense of movement once forbidden, and reconfiqure the landscapes of modernity through a female gaze. To depict Mount Kumgang - an impossible place - by way of detour is ultimately to question my own position and to carry the collective memory of our community into the landscape of the present.
