SoYeong Kim applies countless thin layers of acrylic paint onto traditional Korean paper (jangji), building her images through a delicate and patient process. The brightest areas in her compositions are not painted at all—they are the untouched surface of the paper itself, radiating with a luminous glow as if lit from within. This technique reflects a gaze shaped by deep affection and prolonged observation, inviting viewers to share in that intimate encounter. In this work, fleshy fruits—symbols of living flesh—are sealed tightly within a glass jar. In Kim’s practice, "flesh" often stands in for life or the human presence. Through this imagery, the artist offers a metaphor for the society she perceives: enclosed, contained, and densely filled with life.

SoYeong Kim reflects on urban life through photos taken in daily life, capturing fleeting moments that evoke a sense of both illusion and emptiness. Her work is characterized by creating illusionary scenes by adding painterly ambiguity to real landscapes. She paints by repeatedly layering vertical strokes of acrylic paint on traditional Korean paper (Jangji). The unique textures created from the combination of Jangji and acrylic form the depth and richness of her works. The warm texture of Jangji contrasts with the cold, artificial texture of acrylic, and through the brushstrokes, these elements merge to create a dualistic atmosphere in her compositions.
