The work of Si Jae Byun often revolves around the artist’s childhood experiences, focusing on inner conflict from social experiences which are communicated to the viewer through the interactivity of her pieces. Using characterized images of human organs and videos that incorporate the artist’s own body, Si Jae Byun creates vibrant youthful works using multiple materials to achieve her diverse ideas.
