Beyond the boundaries, discover the unknown you
 

Based on the theme of "liberation from the frame," her works visually expresses breaking away from fixed values, using the delicate and ephemeral motif of soap bubbles. According to the artist, the norms and common sense we acquire in our families and society, such as "this is how it should be" and "this is what we must do," give us safety and order, but at the same time they can stifle free thinking and challenges. The "frames" we accumulate over the course of our lives eventually create a sense of crampedness and become shackles that rob us of our freedom of mind.

The artist uses a unique technique of spraying soap bubble liquid mixed with pigments, creating accidental shapes that have no physical "frame." It is impossible to control what patterns will emerge during the spraying process, so unpredictable freedom and a readiness to let go of control are required. It is this attitude that truly embodies "liberation from the frame." The expressions created by the overlapping colors and bleeding have a beauty that goes beyond intention, evoking the viewer's imagination of the expansion of freedom.

The image of soap bubbles floating freely on the wind evokes the strength of exploring new possibilities without fear of failure. It contains a quiet but powerful message that when we follow our own inner voice, unconstrained by the expectations of others or societal conventions, we can truly carve out our own path.
