Garden Dreams
Textile Pattern Design
Inspired by traditional Japanese woodblock prints, this textile pattern draws from the visual language of Ukiyo-e: bold linework, flat color fields, and vivid compositions. Referencing works like The Great Wave off Kanagawa, the design reimagines natural elements with a modern softness—mixing dreamy florals and organic shapes with flat, expressive forms. The goal was to capture the genre’s poetic sense of everyday beauty through a contemporary interpretation.

Yin & Yang
Fashion Illustration
This collection explores the philosophy of Yin and Yang through fashion illustration, capturing the harmony between opposing forces. Using a black-and-white palette, each look embodies balance—light and dark, softness and strength, fluidity and structure. The illustrations visualize duality not as conflict, but as coexistence, where contrast becomes the foundation for unity.
Yin and Yang are foundational concepts in many Asian cultures. Originating from ancient Chinese philosophy, these dual forces represent opposites' interdependent and complementary nature. Yin is associated with qualities like darkness, femininity, and passivity, while Yang is linked to light, masculinity, and activity. Together, they illustrate that nothing in the world is purely one or the other, and each aspect contains a seed of its opposite.
In Korean culture, the enduring nature of the Yin and Yang concept is evident in various traditions. From the Taegeuk symbol in the national flag, which depicts the balance of cosmic forces, to the holistic approaches in medicine and martial arts, the influence of Yin and Yang is profound. It extends to everyday life, encouraging individuals to seek balance in their personal and social interactions, health practices, and spiritual beliefs. This enduring concept, which has been guiding people for centuries, underscores the importance of equilibrium, which is seen as essential for achieving peace and well-being within oneself and the community. As a Buddhist, I am deeply committed to the interconnectedness of all things and the necessity of maintaining balance in all aspects of life. This belief system has inspired me to create a couture collection that holds deep spiritual and philosophical significance for me. By incorporating the yin and yang symbol and its principles into my designs, I aim to share the timeless wisdom of yin and Yang with a broader audience.
