Education

Park earned her B.A. in Visual Communication Design from Ewha Womans University. After several years of working as a junior art director at an advertising agency in Seoul, Park moved to the US and studied photography at State University of New York at Purchase. She received her Master of Fine Arts degree from Yale University School of Art in 2011.

Career

Park's work has appeared in The New Yorker [1] and was included in the ENGAGING ARTISTS (EA) program in 2015. [2] Her preference to photograph human migration began while she was still at Yale, when she placed street advertisements with the phrase Buscar Trabajo. This work culminated in the monograph "Dear Home", which was exhibited at the CUE Art Foundation. [3] For her series K-town, she explores her surroundings in Korea Town. Park would photograph Korean communities in Los Angeles and New York City named after towns in South Korea, then revisited the original sites of those place names. [4] [5] This work was combined with her community project titled "The Funeral Portrait: Young Jeong Sajin", which is a series of portraits crystallizing the complex facial expressions of over 200 Korean-American seniors. Park's recent project, which covers the interior space of a mosque built by members of a Muslim community who are living in Korea, is currently on view. [6] Originally, Park's attempt to make the journey began when she encountered issues related to the Yemeni refugees in Jeju. While her project was yet abstract, Park has been seeking the meaning of borders and migration, which is intertwined with Islamic culture and life attached to Muslims through community service in Korea.
