Artist Statement

They/She explores the beauty of the ‘other-body,’ capturing the natural flow of change and uncertainty. In a world where labels and definitions equal success, They/She visually portrays the undefinable through the lyrical limbs of the model, Archer Rose, in 35mm film format. As a queer, POC artist, Yoon’s work explores notions of intersectional queerness and the constant battles of defining ourselves.
