Seo Jaejung’s work explores the translation of perception and spatial sensibility into visual form. Drawing from architectural environments—described as “a space within a space”—she uses elements such as columns, stairs, and arches as mediators that generate layered visual associations. Her compositions often begin with a single line and unfold through the deconstruction and recomposition of architectural structures, revealing psychological forms that exist between completeness and incompleteness. These processes create an “architectural psychological space” where reality and unreality, reason and emotion, intention and chance coexist. Through such multilayered structures, Seo seeks to develop a painterly language that blurs the boundary between two- and three-dimensional space, offering an expanded experience that opens onto another realm.
