Whatever

Hana Kwon’s works explore the theme of how fleeting moments can become eternal memories through the visualization of memory and emotion. She captures raw emotions and inner conflicts that are difficult to express in words, confronting a new version of herself through “Nana,” the other self that appears in her works. This creative act is a journey to find stability and order within herself. For her, painting is a process of self-exploration and inner alignment. Sweet desserts and delicious food rest on top of “Nana’s” head, but the artist does not simply eat and paint them. Instead, she uses food as a medium to share moments of memory and reflect the past. As the artist says, everything that happens in everyday life becomes material for her work. Anyone can easily empathize with “Nana” and recall their own memories.
