Soyoung L Kim is a multidisciplinary artist creating works across painting, installation, video, performance art and printmaking. As a diaspora artist with a nomadic background, she creates layers and textures in her work representing the multiple iterations of the self, to explore how to cross boundaries created by societies and to imagine a world where those walls come down.
