In Cherry Juice, Minyoung Kim orchestrates a poetic tension between the domestic and the uncanny. At first glance, the image offers the familiar: a pool of deep red liquid spilled, a household item or fruit fragment, but as your gaze lingers, the work begins to unwind emotional complexity. The hue evokes urgency, intimacy, and vulnerability, while abstracted motifs, perhaps a shadow or mirrored fragment, hover at the edges, intimating a narrative in limbo.

Kim transforms everyday elements into charged metaphors: shimmering droplets or viscous pools suggest tears, sweat, or spilled juice as emotional residue. The liquid becomes a character, a symbol of unease or  quiet humor imbuing the composition with both fragility and electric presence.
