Curriculum Vitae
Statement
I am a media studies researcher and experimental writer based in Seoul, working across media ecology and posthumanities, with a doctorate in Comparative Literature. My practice lies at the intersection of the conceptual and the sensorial, where writing becomes a medium for weaving embodied thought and speculative resonance.
My work engages with transdisciplinary inquiry and corporeal attention as core research methods, drawing from both contemporary media studies and the lived textures of situated East Asian sensibilities.
