dahn gim, May - June 2026

My work reflects the dual perspectives of being both an insider and an outsider—living as a"forever foreigner." Shaped by the flux of immigrant status, I explore the hybrid existence with transformation and adaptation through found, recycled, and organic materials.

I ground my practice in a commitment to self-preservation through process, reflecting the emotional and psychological tensions of presence and absence, self and other, comfort and discomfort.
