Sun K. Kwak is a New York-based interdisciplinary artist originally from Korea, widely recognized for her transformative Space Drawing and Sculptural Drawing. Her practice reshapes the perception and experience of space through immersive, site-specific interventions. At the core of her work is a performative process of emptying herself - an act of surrender that liberates both the artist and the environment.

Kwak's work traverses the boundaries between consciousness and unconsciousness, materiality and spirituality. Her installations dissolve fixed spatial limits and open up new possibilities of pictorial reality. The work reaches completion when viewers physically and perceptually engage with it, expanding their own sense of time and space and blurring the line between the visible and invisible.

Rooted in her transient life, Kwak’s practice reflects on border identity, formed in the in-between spaces of cultures, geographies, and temporalities. She also explores deterritorialization and reterritorialization, phenomenological perception, and the fusion and expansion of form and meaning. Through these contemplations, she proposes a transcendent space as a new pictorial reality.
