This work explores how sensations of anxiety and doubt—perceived by the body before they are defined by language—proliferate and take form through the movement of a centipede. Beginning from the uncertainty and tension underlying the notion of trust, it visualizes the flow of unresolved sensations that remain in and accumulate within the body. The work unfolds through a structure of “initiation – progression – recognition,” following the path of the centipede’s movement. The initiation begins with a subtle sensation detected at the heel, a minor disturbance that could easily be overlooked. The progression traces its movement as it crawls up the back of the knee and along the spine, embodying a state of tension and anxiety that persists even after something has been sensed as wrong but not yet confirmed. In the stage of recognition, the centipede reaches a point just beyond the shoulder, within the viewer’s line of sight, where previously unseen doubt finally materializes into a visible presence. The centipede’s repetitive motion, driven by its numerous legs, symbolizes the persistent nature of doubt—once initiated, it becomes difficult to detach. As it extends across the body, it renders tangible the flow of sensation. Beyond a simple narrative, the work reveals how embodied sensations are perceived, processed, and eventually solidified into certainty. Ultimately, this work exposes the structure of doubt and anxiety that emerges within human relationships, grounded in sensations that reside within the body.

Sejin Kim focuses on subtle sensations that arise in the body before they are clearly defined by language. Rather than emotions that have already been interpreted and organized, the artist is drawn to raw states that exist prior to such articulation. Tracing sensations that pass by fleetingly or disappear before they can be fully grasped, these elusive states are translated onto the surface. Rather than conveying a fixed meaning, the work is closer to recording how a particular sensation once existed. Such intangible sensations ultimately reside in the human body. Kim sees the form of the body as revealing human existence more directly than language, and attends to the traces of sensation that remain within it. Drawn to this honesty of the body, the artist adopts the human figure as a central motif.
