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.
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.
