After Soyun Jung received her bachelor's and master's degrees in textile arts from Ewha Womans University, she wanted to keep up manual working process and become a full-time craftswoman. Soyun's creative expression and her energy to create stem from the feeling of vacancy and the longing for her father who passed away in her adolescence. Her creative method, in which thin threads are piled up one after another through time, resembles the quiet and poetic way of life she pursues in a remote village in South Korea.

Jung So-yun, is a painter. Except her main medium isn’t paint and a paintbrush — it’s thread and a sewing machine. Any blank wall instantly becomes a canvas when her closely-knit textile layers depicting a mountain view are hung, reminiscent of sansuhwa, or traditional Korean landscape paintings of mountains and water. A lingering sense of peacefulness and sublimity comes from the works, something. In 2021, she held her first private exhibition at Seoul’s Gallery DOS and her work has been part of group exhibitions and art fairs around the rest of her country.

Soyun handcrafts sculptures out of fine thread Her pieces are formed with layers of thread sewn on top of each other Inner questions and landscapes are her inspiration. Soyun Jung’s textile works are organic forms that contain her personal experiences and emotions. Tactility and ethereal beauty of the soft fabric she uses are one of her outstanding characteristics. Soyun plays with transparency and opacity, denseness and lightness which she builds up through a delicate process of transformation by hand and sewing machine.
