Mind Journal with Winter Sentiment

It is already December. I wish the pure side of the mind blooms with the hope of being ready to start a new chapter of life.

This winter seems colder than ever because the pure joy of winter sentiment is interrupted by my anxiety about the Korean situation. The democratic system of Korea has become paralyzed under the corrupt regime. I would stand up for justice with sincere Korean citizens to make things right. 

However, I strive to maintain my composure and hold onto the winter sentiment lingering in my mind. Apart from the anxiety in my mind, I reflected on the pure side through writing a novel, painting, and doing crafts. If I didn't have my artistic sensibility, I might have succumbed to anxiety over the situation happening in Korea.


Acrylic Abstract Painting – “Homey Place”

Although it may not have a specific form, colors gradually fill my mind, allowing me to envision a tranquil place. My homey place has flowers, trees, a blue lake, and a red roof. Imagining such a homey place soothes my wounded heart. Pure thoughts and creativity emerge and let me rest momentarily.

Watercolor – “Life Journey”

I live on a journey as if walking the path given to me. Life is, after all, being alone on a journey of the path. But I know I should not think I am alone. I would think another 'me' embraces the part of vulnerability and guides me to stay on the righteousness and sincerity. I express a solitary traveler, and a couple representing another side of ‘me’ embracing who I am.

Motion Graphic – “The Winter Sentiment”

“My butterfly flies toward spring, and I am immersed in the winter sentiment. In my mind, a woman is dancing on the unfrozen lake in the winter wonderland.”




Motion Graphic – “A Dreamy Journey”

“A girl looks up at the clouds in the sky. She Imagines a dancer gracefully performing on the clouds. The sight fills her with happiness. As she continues on her way, it feels as if she is riding a bicycle across a keyboard. 




Digital Illustration – “White and Black Fairy”

I have both positive and negative emotions in my mind. In the artwork below, I placed a black fairy representing negative emotions inside a transparent jar. I put the black fairy in the jar because I am trying to observe what contributes to negativity in my mind, allowing me to refresh myself. Then, I would move on to the next chapter of life.

Paper Design for gratitude and regret – “Angels”

I came up with an angel theme for the paper design-gratitude and regret. I would jot down 'gratitude and regret' on the paper. It’s a good way to look back on myself before entering the new year.

Paper Design for resolution – “the stand for a Ballerina dress”

Writing down resolutions to refresh my mindset for the new year is part of my process. The theme of a ballerina costume is inspired by the motion graphic I created above.

Notebook Cover illustration for a bullet journal for the year of 2025’

I designed a notebook cover and key rings. The artwork in the notebook reflects my mind that I take care of a flower and a tree (positive and passion) on the cloud (a home)

한국상황에 대한 고찰:

지금 한국의 상황과 차기 대통령님에게 드리고 싶었던 저의 작은 의견들을 모아 글로 정리해서 적어보았습니다. 지난 해 11월 30일 실험이 있던 날, 이 글의 내용을 외국 여자분이 관련 기자님들과 민주당 의원님들(원로 의원님?)에게 미리 알려 주셨다고 봅니다.  비밀번호는 똑같습니다.

The Warmth of Analogue, the Intelligence of AI

  As 2026' draws toward its final weeks, I find myself slowly preparing to say goodbye to this year. With new hopes for 2027' on the horizon, I take a moment to reflect on the year that has passed. This year has been challenging, both mentally and physically. At times, the emotional struggles I experienced seemed to manifest themselves in physical changes as well. Going through these experiences reminded me of just how important mental well-being is to our overall health. Perhaps that was why, one day when I was feeling emotionally exhausted by stress and worries, I happened to come across a calligraphy tutorial on YouTube. I was captivated by the way beautiful letters took shape, one stroke at a time. Before long, I also found myself drawn to videos of people decorating their journals with beautiful handwriting and creative designs. Although I had grown accustomed to the digital world, I suddenly found myself falling in love with beautiful handwriting. Before I knew it, ...

Summer Feeling in Art & Fashion Craft

It’s such a sultry and humid summer. The news often reports on disasters caused by global warming in different parts of the world. It makes me wonder whether AI will be able to help humans predict and prevent such catastrophes in the near future. Humanity must find solutions to address climate change, otherwise, things will only get worse. Meanwhile, serious corruption scandals and conspiracies involving the former Korean president and his wife are coming to light through a special investigation. The supporters of the former president and the current conservative party are mostly high-value tax evaders, corrupt business-people, or, most strikingly, religious followers brainwashed by cult leaders. I was shocked to realize how deeply cult members have infiltrated different parts of society, manipulating people's minds. Despite being in prison, the former president, Yoon is reportedly still receiving various secret privileges. Fortunately, the current president, Lee is doing a good ...
