Kal

2024 Bodies of Work

Kal is an interdisciplinary artist whose practice is a discussion of one’s fluctuation of stability and instability, explored through the process of comprehending reactions to sudden alienated thoughts and emotions that arise in domestic environments and situations. Their work is a showcase of answering their own confusion, often stemming from their complex trauma from childhood, to build a stable comprehension of themself and their surroundings.

They moved from Korea to pursue a bachelor’s degree from the School of the Art Institute of Chicago and have been living in Chicago since 2019.
