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.
