Sohee Goo is a visual artist based between Seoul and London, working across photography and installation. Her practice draws from East Asian aesthetics and philosophical inquiry, meditating on the nature of perception, value, and interpretation

Using ordinary yet symbolically charged objects—most notably the egg—Goo constructs quiet yet profound reflections on life. Through repetition and nuanced variation, she elevates the mundane into the poetic, inviting contemplation on fragility, transformation, and the cyclical nature of existence.

Alongside this, she engages with natural imagery, digitally transforming and distorting it into three-dimensional forms. These manipulated landscapes question the boundary between the real and the artificial, disrupting familiar perspectives and challenging fixed ways of seeing.

A recurring thread in her work is the simple yet disarming question: “What do you think?” In posing this, 
Goo turns the viewer’s gaze inward, encouraging not just interpretation, but an awareness of the very act of interpreting itself.

03.Stability - Instability
2023

<ESC.> series

The egg, being symmetrical without a defined top or bottom, can appear differently oriented depending on one's perspective. For example, to perceive the egg as stable, one might expect the pointed end to be at the bottom, but from another viewpoint, the pointed end might appear more stable at the top. 

Thus, the interpretation of the photograph varies according to individual perspectives, resembling the artist’s perception of the boundary between stability and instability, where things without a clear top or bottom can feel stable or unstable depending on one's viewpoint.
