hi, my name is haein jung.

i show up with different personas depending on where i stand and where i belong.

i like strolling around like a local, especially where i am not one. opening random doors along the way, ending up in places i wasnt looking for, and encountering people i would otherwise have no reason to meet.

i collect fragments of what happens along the way. through photographs, writings, conversations, and sometimes by abstracting something i have experienced into something other people can experience too.

i am interested in how things become what they are. a person, a relationship, a city, an idea. how the present carries where it came from, what it might become, and all the other things happening alongside it.

this is where i think in public.

things i notice, people i meet, places i pass through, things i make, and the different versions of myself that appear between them.

not to explain the world from a distance, but to stay inside it long enough to notice something.
