Back Home: 공존 Art director and designer work at a classical music concert



I worked as a set and graphic designer for a visual art and classical music concert hosted by Juilliard graduates. The event took place in our hometown, centered around the themes of coexistence and the homing instinct. For the set, I created a series of video works and sculptures that reflected these themes while also resonating with my personal artistic practice.
