Jeehee Yoo

My current work is inspired by all the actions that people do by dreaming of a better future and wishing to achieve it. This interest has started by my hope of adapting and settling down well in a new place, Chicago, during this pandemic situation. Within a few days of coming to Chicago, I was hit by a thrown egg but that have made me desire a bigger hope, wishing only good things to happen to me.

As a person in the era of nomadism and diaspora, interest in cultural hybrid has always been persisted in my art work. I try to find the hybrid of various cultures contained in me and create my own formative language and perspective and solve them in my art work.
