The Magazine is an ongoing photographic and painterly project pairing portraits with paintings in a one-to-one typological structure. Each spread places a figure alongside an abstract canvas — not to illustrate, but to allow the two to exist in quiet dialogue.

The figure is not a subject. It is a medium through which the aura of a place, a moment, a color is observed and transferred. The paintings do not depict the person; they absorb the atmosphere surrounding them.

Begun in 2024 and currently ongoing, the project has accumulated over 88 participants.

Borderless is a painting series exploring the threshold between presence and absence, structure and stillness.

Recurring motifs — windows, corridors, architectural divisions — are stripped of narrative and reduced to their essential geometry. What remains is color, interval, and the quiet tension between forms. The paintings do not depict space; they propose a condition of it.

Working primarily in oil and acrylic on linen, the series spans intimate small-scale works and larger canvases, each maintaining a deliberate restraint. Rooted in the Korean aesthetic of yeobaek — the active emptiness of negative space — the work resists the impulse toward immediacy, asking instead for slow attention.
