Artist Miseon Yoon (b. 1979) majored in textile art at Hongik University was introduced to the art scene with her patchwork in 2009. The pieces of fabric that are dyed and cut into different shapes represent portraits and these were sewn over and over again countlessly. According to the artist, she was under pressure from her family when she was young because she did not fit into the society’s ideal standards. Under the pressure of comparison and contempt with violent language, she was left with a deep internal wound and engulfment of unresolved anxiety. Her patchwork, which nails the questions and concerns about good and evil, human nature, and the anxiety followed along, symbolizes the extremely desperate and tragic self. After suffering a shoulder injury from the Face-to-Face solo exhibition in 2017 in which she worked painfully with anxiety as its source, she finally attempted herself to be free from the patchwork. Did the painful work itself act as a way to relieve anxiety for the artist? While experimenting various executions of her artwork, the artist tried to redirect herself from her serious pain and distorted gaze on others into positivity Aspects of Cubism can be found in her artwork which visualizes analytical interpretation by gradually adding delicate aspects to the shapes of the objects. The organic figures which compose the characters in the artwork and the spheres as the major component of the expression, the Balance Ball, is the artist's own language when dealing with anxiety. Her change was reflected in responding to the fate of human beings of anxiety and fear with a flexible, spherical attitude toward life. The Balance Ball that flows freely on the paper is the artist's unique point of view that reveals the emotional darkness in the purest form. The work with graphite in pencils captures emotions of the various people with outstanding details that acrylic or oil painting cannot display.

Mi Seon Yoon’s work is given vitality through the temporal narrative of her life. Her portrait works, completed in the form of repetitive spheres, are colored with graphite to add emotional depth. The works are given the meaning of an act of resolution because they begin with an obsessive life experience. In this way, Yoon’s works are unique focal points that reveal emotional darkness in its pure raw form.
