Soh Hyun Park

About
Soh Hyun Park initially pursued fashion design at the School of the Art Institute of Chicago. She is now actively creating drawings and installations that stem from her foundation in drawing.

For Park, emotions and experiences serve as the primary catalysts for initiating her artworks. While her earlier pieces were marked by a strong visual emphasis, since 2017, she has shifted her focus to the visualization of the physical and psychological aging processes in humans. Her portfolio during this period includes three-dimensional and two-dimensional works that employ a variety of media, such as charcoal, knitting, human hair, crumpled paper, paper folding, and Photoshop in order to represent physical aging. At present, Park is investigating the biases formed by psychological aging. She experiments with the disparity between sight and perception through the magnification and expansion of images, ultimately probing the point where existing biases are either reconstructed or dismantled. Her process involves selecting an image, dissecting it into small segments, and enlarging the grids to an extent where they resemble pixels. Park is currently working on a series of drawings where these magnified sections are reinterpreted into novel pixel configurations. This technique reveals aspects of images that remain hidden until enlarged, unveiling the previously imperceptible side of the images. Often, these fragments are derived from a single source image; by presenting them collectively, Park engages with the act of seeing, and perceiving, the whole as well as the parts.
