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.

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.
