Focussed on the exploration of textile design through traditional and contemporary techniques, Haesol's current practice centers around abstract forms, vibrant colors, and storytelling patterns that recall childhood.

About

For modern people who feel emotionally insecure and lonely, her work childhood means pranks and fun and makes people feel happy through joy and pleasure. Her designs allow people to experience and play actively outside of reality and provide an environment where they can freely see, feel, and play like children. The play she chooses to explore is the language of inner purity itself through the nostalgia of the past. Reflecting on the expression technique of mixing and synthesizing various types of images, she explores abstract forms of patterns by mixing materials and flat drawings. The “play” comes from the playful act in her childhood experience.

Abstract forms, vibrant colors, and storytelling patterns that recall childhood are the basis of her work. She put the ideal concept as a textile into practice by drawing, printing, and 3D motion design. She particularly focuses on positive emotional communication and used symbolic icons and sentimental materials from childhood as motifs for the thematic aspects of the work. Patterns add rhythm and movement to her sensory experience of color and form.

She seeks to make the audiences feel childlike, create a playful environment, and communicate with the work. The ‘easy’ and ‘fun’ characteristics of her work mean immediate enjoyment of play. Her work can be used as a textile prop through various processes including colors, patterns, and shapes that give people a sense of comfort and friendliness. By sharing the emotions of seeing, feeling, and enjoying, people face the process of criticizing their adult selves and at the same time facing the inner child. She hopes her design will be a moment of pleasure in people’s daily lives.
