This series of monotypes and site-specific installations uses air as both material and metaphor to explore militarism, memory, and desire. Balloons—simultaneously playful and volatile—are inflated, pressed, and exploded beneath dark blankets, transforming air into a mark-making force. The resulting prints, made through graphite transfer, capture ruptured folds, smudges, and abstract impressions that echo military uniforms, Korean iconography, phallic symbols, and grenades. Suspended by balloons, the prints hover in space, suggesting both levity and burden, as if lifted by breath and haunted by history. Drawing from a personal background shaped by South Korea’s entanglement with American military power, the work investigates the visibility of trauma, the intimacy of pressure, and the spectral presence of neocolonial influence—where the body, like air, is compressed, released, and inscribed into surface.
