Haeji Min, born in 1995 in Seoul, is an artist who has exhibited her work globally. Notable exhibitions include "Beyond the Birthplace" in Italy, "Femalarity" in Dubai, and "Ghost in the Shell" in South Korea. She has been shortlisted for the prestigious John Moores Painting Prize, and has received scholarships and prizes for her artistic contributions. The subject matter of her practice varies in sync with her chronological present and accumulated thoughts. She creates fictional characters, scenes, and narratives in her art practice based on real-life experiences that convey aspects of her personality, values, and trajectories in life. This thinking process of association inspires her to make stories in a visual form. In this case, the depiction of fluid organic shapes of her metamorphic characters on canvas holds her thoughts about a limited mortal life, heaven and hell, and diverse existential questions. With a mixture of undulating and controlled movements of brush strokes, her visual forms go through a process of genetic mutation that mirrors the fragmentation and flow of thoughts of such a haphaard nature.
