Yujung Kwon

Yujung Kwon is a Korean multidisciplinary artist based between the UAE and South Korea. Working with clay, wire, and textile, she explores identity as something assembled through memory, fracture, and repair. Drawing from the structural logic of Korean Jogakbo, her works leave seams, joins, and ruptures visible. Rather than restoring what is broken, Kwon treats repair as a way of holding lived experience in form.

After two decades working across multinational organizations, she turned to art full-time in 2023. The accumulated weight of that experience runs through every work.
