yula kim
Yula Kim paints flight paths between continents, integrating her migratory experiences with the expansive rhythms of the natural world. Having lived across South Korea, China, Uganda, Hawaii, and the U.K., her work reflects a transnational sensitivity that merges ecological thinking with cultural nuance. Using avian-inspired pigments and richly layered textures, she blends flora, fauna, and fragments of human intervention into vibrant, dreamlike compositions. Birds in her work act as metaphors and mediators, guiding viewers through lush, entangled realms where diasporic movement, environmental interdependence, and personal meaning converge.
