A woman drinks beer alone and reflects on the houses she has dreamed of, owned, and lost throughout her life. Inspired by conversations with my mother about her youth in Korea during the 1970s–1990s, alongside my own experiences as a working woman today, this animation follows the emotional transitions of adulthood—leaving home, building a career, marriage, motherhood, and aging. In this work, the house represents the self, while each window symbolizes the changing perspectives and life stages through which we encounter the outside world. Although the woman appears to leave one house for another, she is, in fact, moving within the same house. As her surroundings, roles, and relationships change, she repeatedly encounters new windows through which she views the world. The film reflects on how our identities continue to transform throughout life while remaining rooted in the same self. No matter how far we seem to travel, we eventually return to the person we have always been. Again and again, we see the same house through different windows.&nbsp; "왜 나는 계속 같은 집을 보게 되는 걸까?" 맥주를 마시던 한 여성은 살아오며 꿈꾸고, 소유하고, 잃어버렸던 수많은 집들을 떠올린다. 이 작품은 1970~1990년대를 살아온 어머니의 삶에 대한 이야기와 오늘날 한국 사회를 살아가는 나 자신의 경험을 바탕으로, 독립, 직장, 결혼, 출산, 노년으로 이어지는 여성의 삶을 따라간다. 여기서 '집'은 변하지 않는 자기 자신을, '창문'은 삶의 단계마다 달라지는 시선과 외부 세계를 상징한다. 여성은 새로운 집으로 떠나는 것처럼 보이지만, 사실은 하나의 집 안에서 서로 다른 창을 마주하며 살아간다. 삶의 환경과 역할은 끊임없이 변하지만, 그 모든 변화는 결국 하나의 자아 안에서 이루어진다. 이 작품은 시간이 흐르며 변화하는 삶과 정체성의 관계를 탐구한다. 우리는 끊임없이 다른 창을 통해 세상을 바라보지만, 결국에는 언제나 같은 집, 즉 자기 자신에게 돌아오게 된다.&nbsp;

The title refers to what exists under my routine, under my thoughts, and under my skin—the subtle emotions that quietly settle within us but often go unnoticed. The book collects ordinary moments: the urge to shower immediately after returning home, reluctantly cleaning a cat's litter box, the contrast between stray dogs in the woods and pet dogs in the neighborhood, students resting after late-night study sessions, strangers sharing the same bus, and the rooftop where I simply wanted to stand still without doing anything. Rather than documenting remarkable events, Under My records fleeting sensations that briefly made familiar routines feel unfamiliar. Although these scenes may appear ordinary or even empty, they quietly reveal the emotional texture of contemporary life. Under My 는&nbsp; ‘나' 의 아래, 심연에 조용히 쌓여 있는 감각들을 기록한 리소그라프 진(zine)이다. '아래'는 눈에 잘 드러나지 않지만 하루를 살아가며 몸과 마음에 천천히 축적되는 감정과 감각을 의미한다. 퇴근 후 집에 오자마자 씻고 싶은 마음, 귀찮지만 고양이 화장실을 치우는 시간, 들숲에 사는 개와 동네의 반려견, 야간자율학습을 마치고 쉬고 있는 학생들, 버스 안에서 스쳐 지나가는 사람들, 아무것도 하지 않은 채 서 있고 싶었던 회사 옥상. 이 작품은 특별한 사건이 아닌, 반복되는 일상 속에서 문득 낯설게 다가왔던 순간들을 기록한다. 사소하고 공허해 보이는 풍경들이지만, 그 안에는 현대인의 삶을 이루는 감정과 시간이 조용히 스며 있다. Under My 는 겉으로 드러나는 삶보다 그 아래에 축적되는 감각을 아카이빙하며, 우리가 무심히 지나쳐 온 일상을 다시 바라보도록 제안한다. https://jehyeonkang.cargo.site/Root-of-Teeth Sun, 26 Feb 2023 08:58:05 +0000 Jehyeon Kang https://jehyeonkang.cargo.site/Root-of-Teeth Root of Teeth Offset print10x 16 inches <img width="1024" height="1636" width_o="1024" height_o="1636" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/9dd8f2b836f63c4f90d46e8baf7e5ef310b1909c5c7e35515986b2acebe85f90/teeth_print.png" data-mid="169721393" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/9dd8f2b836f63c4f90d46e8baf7e5ef310b1909c5c7e35515986b2acebe85f90/teeth_print.png" /> https://jehyeonkang.cargo.site/Pond Sun, 26 Feb 2023 09:04:29 +0000 Jehyeon Kang https://jehyeonkang.cargo.site/Pond Pond Offset print10x 16 inches <img width="4800" height="3000" width_o="4800" height_o="3000" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/ed93fab8862dcd221a2241b0fc3ac9c2337587c4bded4e76129abfc18b3f8227/frog_.png" data-mid="169721576" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/ed93fab8862dcd221a2241b0fc3ac9c2337587c4bded4e76129abfc18b3f8227/frog_.png" /> https://jehyeonkang.cargo.site/Spa Wed, 01 Mar 2023 01:11:58 +0000 Jehyeon Kang https://jehyeonkang.cargo.site/Spa Spa Offset print14 x 20 inches <img width="5550" height="3900" width_o="5550" height_o="3900" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/1f98f7bbfa35d6f9ab23a2ff76f0452cd36d9fb98ed3663a98d513754e587f5e/spa_poster.png" data-mid="170092152" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/1f98f7bbfa35d6f9ab23a2ff76f0452cd36d9fb98ed3663a98d513754e587f5e/spa_poster.png" /> https://jehyeonkang.cargo.site/Jungle-gym Fri, 24 Feb 2023 07:33:18 +0000 Jehyeon Kang https://jehyeonkang.cargo.site/Jungle-gym Jungle gymAnimation You may hear the sound but you can’t catch it.&nbsp; https://jehyeonkang.cargo.site/Care Tue, 28 Feb 2023 06:43:14 +0000 Jehyeon Kang https://jehyeonkang.cargo.site/Care CareAnimation Grandma’s way of loving me... Care is a short animation inspired by the affectionate yet often rough expressions of love I experienced from my grandmother while growing up in Korea. Rather than portraying love as gentle or idealized, the animation reflects on the many forms that care can take. Through humorous episodes and nostalgic pencil drawings, it captures the warmth hidden within ordinary gestures that once felt overwhelming but later became cherished memories. The work celebrates unconditional love—the kind that embraces every imperfect moment—and invites viewers to reflect on the different ways love is expressed across generations. Care 는 어린 시절 한국에서 할머니에게 받았던, 다소 투박하지만 따뜻했던 사랑의 방식을 떠올리며 제작한 애니메이션이다. 사랑은 언제나 다정한 모습으로만 표현되지 않는다. 때로는 서툴고 과격해 보이기도 하지만, 그 안에는 상대를 향한 깊은 애정과 돌봄이 담겨 있다. 이 작품은 어린 시절에는 이해하지 못했던 할머니의 애정 표현을 유머러스한 에피소드와 향수를 불러일으키는 연필 드로잉으로 풀어냈다. 이 작품은 시간이 흐르며 달라지는 사랑의 의미를 돌아보고, 세대마다 서로 다른 애정 표현을 이해하고 공감하는 계기를 마련하고자 하였다. https://jehyeonkang.cargo.site/Deer Sun, 26 Feb 2023 08:46:55 +0000 Jehyeon Kang https://jehyeonkang.cargo.site/Deer DeerAnimation https://jehyeonkang.cargo.site/Frame Thu, 23 Feb 2023 18:38:08 +0000 Jehyeon Kang https://jehyeonkang.cargo.site/Frame FrameAnimation &nbsp;2023 Animation&nbsp; Frame explores the invisible social frameworks that shape our behavior, desires, and identities. Set in five familiar public spaces—a swimming pool, an amusement park, a party, a department store, and a restaurant—the animation humorously portrays people performing roles and unconsciously adapting to expectations. Rather than focusing on individual stories, each episode observes a different kind of social frame. Swimming PoolPeople appear almost identical, wearing the same swimsuits and repeating the same stretches. One woman quietly performs hand-dancing, stepping outside the expected behavior and questioning conformity. Amusement ParkAn endless gyro drop symbolizes the pursuit of excitement. The thrill itself becomes addictive, and people begin to desire the anticipation more than the experience itself. PartyPeople gather together without knowing exactly why they are there. The gathering continues simply because everyone else is present, exposing the emptiness hidden beneath social rituals. Department StoreA woman briefly wears an expensive fur coat before leaving it behind. A clerk immediately puts it on and photographs herself. The same object carries completely different meanings depending on who possesses it, revealing how desire is socially constructed. RestaurantA couple meets for the first time, yet their attention gradually shifts toward their own reflections in the mirror. Instead of looking at each other, they become absorbed in observing themselves. Communication loses its purpose when self-consciousness dominates human interaction. Through humor and exaggerated cartoon imagery, Frame reflects on how invisible social structures quietly influence the ways we see ourselves and others.〈Frame〉은 우리의 행동과 욕망, 그리고 정체성을 형성하는 보이지 않는 사회적 프레임을 탐구한 애니메이션이다. 수영장, 놀이공원, 파티장, 백화점, 레스토랑이라는 다섯 개의 공공장소를 배경으로, 사람들은 각 공간이 요구하는 역할과 규범에 자연스럽게 적응하며 행동한다. 작품은 이러한 모습을 만화적이고 유머러스한 연출로 표현한다. 수영장모두가 같은 수영복을 입고 비슷한 동작을 반복하며 하나의 집단처럼 보인다. 그 안에서 혼자 손춤을 추는 여성은 사회적 규범에서 벗어난 작은 일탈을 보여준다. 놀이공원끝없이 반복되는 자이로드롭은 끊임없이 새로운 자극을 추구하는 현대인의 욕망을 상징한다. 사람들은 경험보다 기대감과 흥분 자체를 소비한다. 파티사람들은 이유도 모른 채 같은 공간에 모인다. 함께 있다는 사실만으로 관계가 유지되는 모습은 사회적 모임의 공허함을 드러낸다. 백화점고가의 모피 코트는 사람마다 전혀 다른 의미를 가진다. 누군가에게는 잠시 걸쳤다가 벗어두는 물건이지만, 다른 누군가에게는 욕망의 대상이 된다. 같은 사물도 사회적 위치에 따라 서로 다른 가치를 갖게 된다. 레스토랑처음 만난 남녀는 대화를 나누기보다 거울 속 자신의 모습을 바라보는 데 더 많은 시간을 보낸다. 타인과의 관계는 점차 사라지고, 자신을 의식하는 시선만 남는다. **〈Frame〉**은 과장된 만화적 이미지와 유머를 통해, 우리가 인식하지 못하는 사이 사회적 프레임 안에서 사고하고 행동하는 모습을 돌아보게 한다. https://jehyeonkang.cargo.site/Cherry-book Thu, 23 Feb 2023 16:40:42 +0000 Jehyeon Kang https://jehyeonkang.cargo.site/Cherry-book Cherry book Risograph print 17 x 5.5 inches <img width="5100" height="1650" width_o="5100" height_o="1650" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/f199774be71df4929544d9207ff55806bbd0e0f4e793342964d26857345aa122/cherrybook_pg1.png" data-mid="169719559" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/f199774be71df4929544d9207ff55806bbd0e0f4e793342964d26857345aa122/cherrybook_pg1.png" /> <img width="5100" height="1650" width_o="5100" height_o="1650" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/478b2c74a82f19a0248b9704ae90db10c2faefc4e8cf5867118da5555276b24c/cherrybook_pg2.png" data-mid="169719768" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/478b2c74a82f19a0248b9704ae90db10c2faefc4e8cf5867118da5555276b24c/cherrybook_pg2.png" /> <img width="5100" height="1650" width_o="5100" height_o="1650" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/07f3f84eab30e0aa4ffb803583b77d8f776a7987253bb288673462565f3fdeb7/cherrybook_pg3.png" data-mid="169719769" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/07f3f84eab30e0aa4ffb803583b77d8f776a7987253bb288673462565f3fdeb7/cherrybook_pg3.png" /> <img width="5100" height="1650" width_o="5100" height_o="1650" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/f2f3d53042856be341150907a007d017144ac4a43e98cf6c6bd08a6f3bd4e0e3/cherrybooK_pg4-.png" data-mid="169719771" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/f2f3d53042856be341150907a007d017144ac4a43e98cf6c6bd08a6f3bd4e0e3/cherrybooK_pg4-.png" /> <img width="5100" height="1650" width_o="5100" height_o="1650" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/1e0750b70eba87b75609c29ca53735eec113a675ae975b99c54e096239ada67a/cherrybooK_pg5.png" data-mid="169719772" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/1e0750b70eba87b75609c29ca53735eec113a675ae975b99c54e096239ada67a/cherrybooK_pg5.png" /> <img width="5100" height="1650" width_o="5100" height_o="1650" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/7730de6e4eda25155d066dacddc121657a61a0ae52367872800d47c07a8fcf64/cherrybooK_pg6.png" data-mid="169719774" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/7730de6e4eda25155d066dacddc121657a61a0ae52367872800d47c07a8fcf64/cherrybooK_pg6.png" /> <img width="5100" height="1650" width_o="5100" height_o="1650" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/4218d07406f935a000df4c204408abb8a5b6f16641009d07ef47e7b4f6f9bf33/cherrybooK_pg7.png" data-mid="169719777" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/4218d07406f935a000df4c204408abb8a5b6f16641009d07ef47e7b4f6f9bf33/cherrybooK_pg7.png" /> <img width="5100" height="1650" width_o="5100" height_o="1650" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/e8eb304b739959bdc04e9dcdc0aacb7e25c3b404ef634d6c855587ed3ac40d78/cherrybooK_pg8.png" data-mid="169719778" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/e8eb304b739959bdc04e9dcdc0aacb7e25c3b404ef634d6c855587ed3ac40d78/cherrybooK_pg8.png" /> <img width="5100" height="1650" width_o="5100" height_o="1650" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/91cc4360748aade315b49c0513e97f298d58e8defe55066b9f8945103c3bc3ac/cherrybooK_pg9-.png" data-mid="169719779" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/91cc4360748aade315b49c0513e97f298d58e8defe55066b9f8945103c3bc3ac/cherrybooK_pg9-.png" /> ‘Cherry Book’ is an illustrated book created for an adult audience, inspired by the way contemporary graphic novels have expanded beyond children's literature to address intimate and complex themes. The story follows a couple who genuinely wants to satisfy, understand, and care for one another throughout their relationship. Rather than portraying romance as an idealized fantasy, it explores the awkwardness, curiosity, vulnerability, and mutual effort that accompany emotional and physical intimacy. By adopting the visual language of a picture book while addressing themes intended for adults, Cherry Book questions the conventional boundaries between children's books and graphic novels. It explores how illustration can communicate mature experiences with humor, tenderness, and emotional honesty.&nbsp; Cherry Book 은 현대 그래픽노블이 어린이뿐 아니라 성인을 위한 매체로 확장되어, 보다 깊이 있는 삶과 관계를 다루는 방식에서 영감을 받아 제작한 성인 대상의 그림책이다. 이 작품은 연인 관계 속에서 서로를 이해하고 만족시키기 위해 노력하는 두 사람의 모습을 담고 있다. 사랑을 이상적으로 묘사하기보다, 서로를 알아가고 배려하며 관계를 만들어 가는 과정에서 나타나는 어색함과 호기심, 친밀함, 그리고 노력의 순간들을 이야기한다. 그림책이라는 익숙한 형식을 차용하면서도 성인을 위한 주제를 담아냄으로써, 그림과 서사가 인간의 관계와 감정을 얼마나 깊이 전달할 수 있는지를 탐구하고자 하였다.
