Artist Statement
--
Taegyoung Shon is a high school student artist attending BC Collegiate in Korea. She is fascinated by spaces that exist between reality and imagination—places where the boundaries between the everyday and the fantastical blur. Through painting, sculpture, and architectural exploration, Taegyoung investigates the atmosphere and structure of these in-between spaces. Bold colors and distinctive compositions define her visual language, transforming the familiar into something uncanny and thought-provoking. For her, art is both a form of emotional expression and a space for experimentation—one where new perspectives emerge and invisible thoughts are given tangible shape.
