Artist
Im Suniy
Im Suniy creates landscape. She has "represented people's trembling and anxious sight and unique landscape images, which are recognized and perceived from such a perspective, through photographs and objects. Im visualizes numerous shades of life that she experienced through her own existential life and reflects this embodied sight onto the object, maintaining an organic structure of artist herself - embodied sight - image landscape in her work. As a result, Im's work internalizes the structure of human life and meanings in life in a proactive way. (···)
