Test Project 01 — goosohee

Sohee Goo is a visual artist based in Seoul and London, working mainly with photography and installation. Her practice is rooted in East Asian aesthetics and philosophical thought, reflecting on the nature of perception, value, and interpretation.

Using the everyday yet symbolic object of the egg, she creates quiet but deep reflections on life. Through the act of continually seeking stability amid uncertainty, and through repetition and subtle variation, she elevates the ordinary into something poetic. Her work invites viewers to consider the anxieties, changes, and questions of existence that appear in daily life.

She also develops works that digitally transform and distort images of nature, reconstructing them into three-dimensional forms. These altered landscapes explore the boundary between the real and the artificial, unsettling familiar ways of seeing and questioning fixed frameworks of perception.

A simple and direct question runs through her work: “What do you think?” With this question, she encourages viewers to look inward, allowing space within her refined works for introspection, depth of thought, and inner resonance.

Five elements

2025

selected exhibition
Hockney gallery, London

the exhibition Five elements, inspired by the concept of the Five Elements in traditional East Asian philosophy, explaining the phenomena and transformations of the world and human life. Each element — Wood, Fire, Earth, Metal, and Water — carries distinct energies, yet interacts to create harmony. Similarly, the works of five artists from diverse backgrounds and artistic languages are connected in an organic flow, breathing together. Within this rhythm, we can feel the growth of Wood, the transformation of Fire, the harmony of Earth, the fruition of Metal, and the inclusiveness of Water, gently inviting us to reflect once again on the idea of balance and interconnectedness.

Perhaps, in this way, we too seem like different beings, but aren't we all connected as one?
