About
Sunkyung Ji begins her practice with drawing and moves fluidly through painting, installation, and collage, exploring fragments of sensation and the rhythms of space. Rather than depicting specific memories or emotions, her work visualizes the in-between flows of perception—subtle shifts, delays, and misalignments that quietly emerge in everyday life. Elements such as color, light, line, and shadow are assembled into non-linear structures, where forms arise organically at the intersection of sensation and language. These fragments do not seek to complete a singular narrative but remain suspended as sensory units, drifting between abstraction and concept, image and structure. Ji’s work is less about what is seen than what is felt—an ongoing inquiry into visual grammar at the threshold of perception and cognition
