Woo Young Choi

oo Young Choi(b.1993, Korea) works from a place of deep agony over the notion that ideas branching out from the root of the “I” must inevitably exist in the context of relationships with the other. Choi expresses this idea as a faceless “black dot,” a character that represents the artist’s thoughts — along with those of many others in modern society. Containing both the stability of belonging that comes from a uniting, intertwining crowd as well as the unavoidable sense of isolation that occurs in any relationship, the duality of the “black dot” is sure to strike a chord with anyone living in the present era. Individual yet multiple, unfamiliar yet comforting, the “black dot” speaks to us all.
