The City Stories

Jung Min Park is interested in observing and experiencing the relationships between cities, nature and people. Working from her own experiences with the many places she has lived she has found that her imagination takes over and creates a story, or a separate life for these places.

In looking back on these cities she personifies both urban and natural objects and encapsulates their existence within a single memory. These memories are then visualized with natural and man-made objects to form cities. The shapes and colors are borrowed from diverse angles and perspectives and then reassembled in a distorted fashion to maximize the surrealist illusion.
