............. @_@ Jeongmin focuses on the gendered codes and subtle rules embedded within popular culture—such as toys, memes, games, animation, and K-pop—and reconstructs them through 2D media. As an avid fan of these cultures, she is simultaneously aware that they socially ‘program’ our desires and ways of thinking. She collects normative rules that limit our imagination, particularly those glossily packaged in cuteness or playfulness, and transforms embedded codes by deconstructing and hybridizing them. She hopes the images created through these experiments will serve as resources for imagining a world outside existing systems. >_< /../ +_+ /../ *-*
