Choo Young-jin's work begins with an exploration of the layers of images formed between events, memory, and documentation. The artist's practice attempts to create a third visual scene that reveals the space between ‘seeing’ and ‘not seeing,’ 'existence' and 'absence.'

Her work incorporates elements of personally taken snapshots, collected images, and drawings. These are layered together in forms such as prints, drawings, and paintings to compose a single image. Scenes originating from different sources and timespaces are utilized not to narrate specific events or stories, but rather as new, sculptural and decorative units within the image.

The artist focuses on the uncertainty of how much a record truly preserves an actual event. By blending visual records derived from everyday observations into decorative elements, the work reveals the state where images remain merely as superficial clues.
