JUSPEACE는 미래의 창작자들이 등장할 수 있는 토양을 만들고, 신진 작가들이 지속적으로 성장할 수 있는 구조를 만들어가고 있습니다. 스페인의 권위 있는 비디오아트 페어 LOOP Barcelona와 연계해, 부산 해운대에서 열린 Loop Plus 2026에서. 리딩투자증권과 아티비스트(@artiv.ist )는 미래세대를 위한 저스피스재단의 방향에 함께해 주었습니다. 세계적인 아티스트들과 갤러리들이 참여한 국제 아트페어 현장에서, 청년 작가들의 작품이 소개될 수 있는 기회를 만들었고, 14명의 청년 작가들을 직접 초청해, 전시, 포럼, 글로벌 작가들과의 만남까지 이어나갔습니다. 세계적인 예술 현장을 직접 경험한 시간은, 청년 작가들에게 새로운 가능성과 방향을 보여주는 계기가 되었을 것입니다. JUSPEACE는 앞으로도 다음 세대 창작자들이 세계로 나아갈 수 있도록, 지속적인 기회와 연결을 만들어가겠습니다. JUSPEACE creates a foundation for future creators and builds a structure for the continuous growth of emerging artists. In collaboration with Spain’s prestigious video art fair LOOP Barcelona, at Loop Plus 2026 held in Haeundae, Busan, Leading Investment & Securities and Artivist(@artiv.ist ) joined JUSPEACE Foundation’s direction for future generations. At the international art fair where global artists and galleries participated, we created opportunities to introduce the works of young artists. We invited 14 young artists to participate in exhibitions, forums, and meetings with global artists. Experiencing the global art scene firsthand will serve as an opportunity to show new possibilities and directions to young artists. JUSPEACE will continue to create ongoing opportunities and connections, so that the next generation of creators can reach the global stage. -- #저스피스재단 #리딩투자증권 #아티비스트 #루프플러스 #부산시립미술관

🎤✨ Thank you @juspeace_foundation and @loopplus.official for the invitation to be the presenter at this year’s Artist Meetup in Busan. It was a meaningful experience to spend time with artists across South Korea and to share my practice and personal journey. ❤️ Im grateful for the opportunity to speak on self sustainability, the power of purpose, and the importance of trusting your inner light in a world where many follow the light of others.

🌸✨We’ve entered the final two weeks of Wallflowers, an exhibition exploring the floral still life as a space for reinvention across time at the @fryeartmuseum in Seattle. Bringing together works from the Frye’s collection and new commissions by contemporary artists, the show reveals how floral imagery holds ideas of beauty, impermanence, and cultural memory, while continuing to offer room for experimentation and subtle critique. Designed like a cultivated garden, the exhibition moves between intimate paintings and immersive patterns, finding new meaning in familiar forms. For this exhibition, I created “Bloom Beyond the Boundary,” a site-specific wallpaper that enters into dialogue with the grid embedded in the building’s architecture. The grid becomes a symbol of the boundaries that contain us, both physical and mental. Flames move through it as a disruptive force, breaking down that containment and opening space for transformation and release. On the other side, a fertile garden emerges, with sakura blossoms falling like rain, gestures of growth, beauty, and the quiet act of nurturing what comes after. Special thanks to museum director @jamileelacy for the invitation, and to @eacorkery for her insight and support throughout the wallpaper design process. I’m grateful for the opportunity to create together. 📸: Installation view of Wallflowers. Frye Art Museum, Seattle, February 7, 2026–May 17, 2026. Photography by Jueqian Fang.

Honored to be invited to @loopplus.official in Busan for a solo presentation of my media works in the institutional section. One piece was created in dialogue with the fair’s beachside setting, a looping image that opened a quiet conversation with the horizon, held in rhythm with the ocean like a metronome moving without end. A meditative work reflecting on how we spend our time. I also presented my animated film Ascend, originally shown in my solo exhibition at the Long Beach Museum of Art (2024–2025). The film draws from my grandparents’ incarceration during WWII, where their love found space to grow within confinement; a story of loss, resilience, and transformation. Sharing this work in Korea, and hearing parallel histories from visitors reflecting on the Japanese occupation, was deeply moving. Grateful for the exchange, the conversations, and everyone who spent time with the work. The Singing Shoreline, 2026 Duration: 3:33 min loop 4k digital animation

Most of my work has lived on larger surfaces, but recently I’ve been drawn to something more intimate, working within the scale of a standard 8.5” x 11” sheet of paper. There’s something familiar about that size, like a page meant to carry a letter, a message or a moment held in time. These pieces feel like letters to and from a world I find myself within, one I’m continually building, questioning, and returning to. Each work becomes a small meditation, a quiet space to process time, memory, and lived experience. Within them, light and darkness, stillness and movement, the internal and external all coexist. They exist as offerings, fragments of a larger narrative, inviting viewers to slow down, reflect, and find their own place within them. Portal of Night’s Visitation, 2026.

🏠🌸 Currently on view at the USC Pacific Asia Museum, “My Memories of You are an Island”, 2026 is a meditation on memory, time, and familial lineage. The work began as a wooden house that was set on fire, then recast in molten aluminum, transforming an act of loss into one of preservation. What remains becomes something permanent. Resting on a mirrored surface surrounded by sand, the form becomes an island suspended between reflection and remembrance. Stones gathered across four generations of my family trace a constellation around it, while small sprouts emerge from within, growth shaped by what came before. A gilded ginkgo branch in gold extends above, holding space for light, endurance, and memory. Inspired in part by “The Giving Tree” this work reflects on the quiet labor and sacrifices passed down through generations, an exchange of love and resilience that continues to carry us forward.

🇰🇷❤️ Some forever moments from the last leg of my family’s Asia journey in Seoul, before they tucked me into my stay here in Korea before heading back to LA so Spring could rejoin her classmates. Over the past month, we traveled from Tokyo ➡️ Hong Kong ➡️ back to Tokyo ➡️ and then to Seoul, expanding our sense of the world and how we move through it together as a family. It’s been nothing short of magical 💫✨ I already miss my girls so much. As Greg Ito Studio settles into Gangnam and I begin production on new work here in Korea, I carry this trip with me, fuel for what’s to come over the next couple of months. Times in the world are dark, but keep shining as brightly as you can. Don’t lose hope! 🙏🏽🌸✨
