Yang-ha
Yang-Ha is a visual artist whose practice explores the uneasy space between collective trauma and personal expression. Working primarily in painting, Yang-ha combines cartoon-like imagery with painterly abstraction to address themes of violence, vulnerability, and resistance. Recurring motifs such as clouds, explosions, and teddy bears appear playful at first glance, yet function as unsettling symbols shaped by the circulation of images in contemporary media. Built through thin layers of pastel tones and translucent surfaces, her works reflect how violence is softened, repeated, and visually consumed.
