제목 (Title):
Comfort Women | Hemp Hanbok Series

내용 (Description):

작품 **「Comfort Women」**는 한국에서 전통적으로 의례용으로 사용되던 삼(hemp) 소재를 활용하여 제작했습니다.
삼은 피부에 닿기에는 거칠고 무거워 일반 의복에는 적합하지 않은 소재이며, 주로 산업용으로 사용되었습니다.
이 작품은 역사 속 불행한 사건, 일본군 ‘위안부’ 문제에 대한 저의 응답입니다.
태평양 전쟁 중 20만 명이 넘는 여성들이 강제로 매춘과 성노예로 끌려갔습니다.
저는 삼으로 만든 한복을 태우고, 자르고, 꿰매고, 손상시키며 당시 여성들이 겪은 고통을 표현했습니다.
그리고 아이러니하게도 당시 위안부들의 평균 나이였던 14세의 제 딸에게 착용시켜 사진으로 기록했습니다.
이 작품은 여성의 고통과 역사적 기억을 시각적으로 전하며, 관람자에게 깊은 울림을 전달하고자 합니다.

The work “Comfort Women” is created using hemp, a material traditionally used in Korea for ceremonial purposes such as funerals.
Hemp is harsh and heavy on the skin, unsuitable for garments, and primarily used for industrial purposes.
This piece is my response to the tragic history of the “Comfort Women,” over 200,000 Korean women who were forced into prostitution and sexual slavery by Japanese soldiers during the Pacific War.
I burned, cut, sewed, and distressed the hemp Hanbok to reflect the suffering these women endured.
Ironically, the average age of comfort women was fourteen, which is why I asked my own fourteen-year-old daughter to wear the Hanbok for photographic documentation.
Through this work, I aim to visually convey the pain of these women and preserve the memory of a dark chapter in history.

언덕 넘어서 1~3 | Over the Hill Series

January 25, 2018

언덕 넘어서 I 언덕 넘어서 II 언덕 넘어서 III Over the Hill Series | 언덕 넘어서 Ⅰ–Ⅲ The “Over the Hill Ⅰ–Ⅲ” series is created using hand-dyed fabric and mixed media techniques. Climbing a windy hill, only to look down and see everything swept away by the wind, evokes a sense of emptiness. This series visually explores the journey of life, human effort, and the void we often encounter at its culmination. Through layered textures and materials, each piece conveys the weight and transience of life. 바람 부는 언덕에 올라서서 내려다보니... 모든 것이 바람과 함께 지나가 버렸다. 작품 시리즈 「언덕 넘어서 Ⅰ–Ⅲ」 는 손으로 염색한 천과 다양한 재료를 활용한 믹스미디어 작업입니다. 바람 부는 언덕을 힘겹게 올라 내려다보면, 모든 것이 바람과 함께 사라져버린 듯한 허무함을 느낍니다. 이 시리즈는 인생의 여정과 노력, 그리고 그 끝에서 마주하는 공허함을 시각적으로 표현합니다. 각 작품은 재료의 질감과 층을 통해 삶의 무게와 덧없음을 전달하고자 했습니다. © Jaclyn Bae | Mixed Media on Hand-Dyed Fabric #OverTheHill #언덕넘어서 #MixedMediaArt #HandDyedFabric #FiberArt #ContemporaryArt ...

Art works-Window Installation

December 08, 2015

Window Series Through the medium of windows, this series explores the landscapes of the mind and the inner light. A window is not only a frame that looks outward, but also a mirror that reflects the self. By combining materials such as transparent silk, denim, handmade paper, and real branches, these works express stories of memory, growth, and connection. Hidden emotions and emerging hope overlap like light and shadow, weaving together the layers of life. A window defines the boundary between the inside and the outside, and on this threshold, each piece becomes a scene that constantly changes with light and time. The viewer is invited to look beyond the window and discover their own story reflected within the work. Window Installation I My second installation was created for my deck window using gray transparent silk. I cut black nylon into the shape of a tree, and added round forms made from recycled denim and color...
