Seonna’s work stood out to me when I was scrolling through my inspiration feeds. A modern take on the traditional Korean landscape painting styles.
Hong described her style best in this quote, “I’m a second-generation Korean American that is surprised to be making identity-based work but realizing I’ve been making it all along. I’ve spent my entire life between the push and pull of being Korean and American, never feeling quite Korean enough or American enough. I’ve realized the inherent connection between my work and my history, a belated but cherished revelation.”
