Eunji Shin (South Korea) explores the transformation of the mundane into the extraordinary, capturing fleeting moments before they fade into the recesses of memory. Her work in enameling, an art form that fuses metal surfaces with vibrant color, evokes the clarity and luminosity of glass. This technique allows her to translate ephemeral experiences onto metal, much like brushstrokes on a canvas.
Drawing inspiration from pointillism, Shin meticulously layers dots to create textured surfaces that echo the fragmented nature of recollection. Her dynamic and animated brushstrokes seek to convey memories not as fixed images but as distorted afterimages—impressions that shift and evolve over time. Through her work, she offers a visual exploration of the impermanence of memory, preserving its essence in a medium that is both delicate and enduring.
