About Artist

Leebaeck Choi

Through light and shadow, I continuously pose my own questions about existence and distance, life and death, and the parallel universes and other dimensions beyond our world. At the same time, I turn to the everyday environment and the animals around me, seeking to question the essence of existence and our relationships
