Today we’d like to introduce you to Seyeong Ji
Alright, so thank you so much for sharing your story and insight with our readers. To kick things off, can you tell us a bit about how you got started?
Haha, I think I am still trying to find what I want to do and what the next step is for me. Sometimes, I was a middle school student in my hometown, and I was an immigrant person after I left my hometown without a decision for the future. I was a navigator who chose my future on my way after i decided what I wanted to do now. Sometimes, I fall in love during my journey or feel blue for people or myself. This story can be one of the everyday stories in the world. Now, what I am doing is working full-time for a food restaurant. I feel like who I am today is finding the next stage to work more professionally, including my major of art or related art, and then i wish to settle down in a new place for a good while because I’m just an ordinary girl, women or one person to spending twenties and getting close to thirty years old.
Alright, so let’s dig a little deeper into the story – has it been an easy path overall and if not, what were the challenges you’ve had to overcome?
I feel that life can not expect what is next or what is coming now, and nobody knows what they want to do in the future. We can lose the road because there is no navigation for safety. However, life is one and only for me to get many things, and I can say the answer, ‘Has it been a smooth road?’ Is No. Every time was challenging and rigid for me; sometimes, everything struggled along the way without my wants. I can’t explain how much each of the struggles is for me. However, I can say it is worth it till the end because all of the journeys in life cannot consider forecasts, even if it may sound paradoxical.
Can you tell our readers more about what you do and what you think sets you apart from others?
I’m creating my work based on studio or fine art, like a drawing or painting on the canvas. Also, I love digital, analog, or phone photography; I’m taking photos of our lives. It is natural for me, and my work describes what I watch today through the viewfinder. I love to imagine and mix my vibes and reality in life because we can think differently even if we see the same things together. I love these moments, and I am most proud of showing someone what I feel through my style. I think these moments connect people to communicate with us, even unless they learn languages with us. These feelings are always iconic and lovely for me when creating art.
What was your favorite childhood memory?
I always remember one of my childhood memories: when i was four or five years old. I was one of the children who waited for my parents or aunt at kindergarten for a long time because my parents worked a long time. I was waiting for my mom to pick me up. My house was above the kindergarten, and I needed to go up a slope every time. My parents worked both, and I usually spent the time at my aunt’s house until my mom came to bring me after she came home from work.
I didn’t like to spend a long time at kindergarten alone after all my friends returned home. However, I could go back with my mom, especially once or twice a day of a week after she leaves her office early; when I go back home with Mom holding hands, we always walk about saying short poems about landscapes around us till we arrive home. I made my own short poem next to the tree, sky, and my feelings, whatever things in the world; my mom always listened to my poem, holding my hands, and then we returned home late at night. There are no extraordinary things, but I remember these senses even though I’m getting old now.
