Traditionally, jangpan hanji was the oiled Korean paper used to cover floors.

I am the first to develop Jangpanhwa into an independent artistic genre with its own name, material practice, and critical discourse.

My practice of Jangpanhwa is rooted in this material.. It may take the form of painting, sculpture, or installation, but its foundation remains the same: jangpan hanji.

In Jangpanhwa, the character 畫 (hwa) is understood not simply as painting, but as an act of making, transforming material, memory, and spirit into form.

Jangpanhwa transforms a material traditionally placed beneath the body into a site of contemporary art.

What was once walked upon becomes an image, an object, and a space for reflection.
