The site specific project, My Heart Leaps Up When I Behold, began amidst COVID-19 from my desire to reconnect with others through art. From my bedroom in South Korea, I sent countless emails to galleries, institutions and artists. It grew to become six relay exhibitions –moving from South Korea to Sweden, the UK, Thailand, and then back to South Korea. This was a personal research journey. Every moment of interaction directly explored ”community” in my relationship between “inside” and “outside”. The history of encounters, emotions, and exchanges were composed in this archive as shapes, materials, embroidery, and specially curated to highlight my story. The outdoor space on the roof of my house was newly renovated to host this installation. I concluded and reflected on the experiences in my own home. This work signified both the end of my journey and my readiness to embark on a new one.

Vertical Stance exhibits works of the artists who strongly convey their own location, positions and their relations within the world. The works displayed are of organic and natural manners, in either metaphorical or literal sense. They take forms from nature, harmonizing them with the environment of their location and then project them into artistic choices and expressions. The collaboration of local artists from Sweden and South Korea shows the universal stubbornness and obstinacy in humans to maintain one’s identity throughout different locations and lives. The paintings alluding to the Swedish forest hanging on the walls embrace the arrival of the installation from Korea. Here, we witness the meeting of a harmonious nature; in which all meet with their beautiful individuality and a strong stance of their own, a firm vertical stance walking through the world.
