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.
When viewing artworks, I hope that observers escape the act of seeking the correct answer or the inherent appearance of the object and instead project their own perspectives onto the photograph.
