BIO

Kim’s practice began as a quiet act of longing. Originally using the camera as a shield to "possess" those she was too shy to approach, she has since evolved that impulse into a profound study of the threads binding all living things. Working through stark monochrome photography, painting, and installation, Kim explores the thin veil between life, death, and the suggestion of alternate realities.

Her work serves as an exercise in empathy and spiritual interconnectedness. Whether capturing the primal silhouette of her huskies, a haunting landscape, or the ghost of a human figure, Kim seeks to reveal a shared, universal pulse. By intervening on the photographic surface with paint, she disrupts the mechanical distance of the lens, transforming a detached observation into a tactile search for the unseen.

Kim received her MFA from Pratt Institute and has exhibited internationally in New York, Los Angeles, Paris, Seoul, and Busan. Currently a member of the faculty at the College of the Atlantic, she splits her time between the rugged landscapes of Maine, New York, and California.
