ARTIST STATEMENT
FROM MY STORY UNTIL REACHING YOUR STORY
Lijung's work focuses on recording Korean society from individuals to communities through her position of view. Since society does not exist without individuals, and individuals cannot exist without society, she records these in media such as photography, video, installation, and text.
