b. 1995 | lives, studies, and writes in New York City
๐ŸŽ“ B.A. Art History | Georgetown University โ€˜17
๐ŸŽ“ M.A. Modern and Contemporary Art: Critical and Curatorial Studies | Columbia University โ€˜26 (expected)
I am a writer, art enthusiast, and aspiring art historian (still a work in progress!) currently pursuing a master's degree in Modern and Contemporary Art: Critical and Curatorial Studies at Columbia University. Before this, I served as Associate Director of Public Relations at Kukje Gallery in Seoul.

In 2022, I founded the Instagram account @crakti, where I share information about exhibitions and art events globally. Over the past two years, I have visited over 1000 art exhibitions, biennials, and fairs. I currently contribute monthly to Hanwha LIFEPLUS ART, and my writings have been featured in publications like W Korea and Marie Claire Korea.

I am interested in and passionate about encouraging others to discover the world through the unique vision of each artist: how they depict a certain motif, event, or person; how they give voice to unheard communities and illuminate forgotten histories; how they confess and heal personal traumas and insecurities; and how they address the paradoxes inherent in society at large.
