Window Series — Light, Memory, and Connection

Textile and mixed-media window installations exploring the shifting boundaries between the inner and outer worlds by Jaclyn Bae.

A window is more than an opening—it is a threshold between what is seen and what is felt. Using transparent silk, denim, handmade paper, natural branches, and suspended geometric forms, the Window Series visualizes memory, emotional landscapes, and the quiet presence of light.

Each piece stands at the border between interior and exterior spaces, revealing how light, shadow, and time transform our perception. As viewers move, the works shift—mirroring the changing layers of life itself.

Window Installation I — Tree & Growth Rings

Created for a deck window using gray transparent silk, this installation integrates a hand-cut black-nylon tree with circular denim forms stitched in vibrant threads. The round patterns echo tree rings—the years endured, the seasons remembered, and the quiet growth that shapes one’s life.

Window Installation II — Cultural Harmony & Identity

Inspired by traditional Korean changhoji windows, this composition arranges hanbok fabric, denim, crochet twine, and handmade paper within a divided wooden frame. The structure symbolizes coexisting cultures—blending, negotiating, and forming a layered sense of identity.

Window Installation III — Time & Connection

Handmade cotton rag paper embedded with colored threads is cut into circular forms and suspended with fishing lines. Layered in varying depths, the installation reflects the continuum of time—past, present, and future held together in a single floating rhythm.

Window Installation IV — Inner & Outer Worlds

Natural branches intertwine with transparent textiles to reveal how external environments influence inner landscapes. As light shifts throughout the day, the piece transforms—becoming a living dialogue between nature and the human spirit.

Over the Hill Series I, II, III

Over the Hill I Over the Hill II Over the Hill III Over the Hill Series (I–III) The “Over the Hill I–III” series is created with hand-dyed fabrics and mixed media, developed through a slow, layered process of coloring, washing, cutting, and composing textiles. Each piece captures the feeling of climbing a windy hill — pushing forward with effort, then pausing at the peak where a quiet sense of emptiness meets clarity. This work reflects on the human journey: the ascent, the labor, the moments of reflection, and the recognition that much of what we hold onto is temporary. The transparent layers and muted tones visualize the tension between weight and impermanence, suggesting that meaning often reveals itself at the edges of stillness and loss. Through this series, I invite viewers to consider their own passages — the hills they have climbed, the efforts m...
