A jar becomes animate under Minyoung Kim’s gaze, peering eyes or animate forms emerge through soft pastel hues. With familiar motifs such as flowers and cat paws together with subtle anthropomorphism and shadows, Kim invites a quiet tension: everyday softness transformed into uncanny stillness. On un‑stretched canvas, her “creepy‑cute” aesthetic unfolds in a blend of irony, introspection, and emotional complexity. The work exists on a threshold, between innocence and threat, humor and anxiety, the everyday and the uncanny.
