Abstract painting on canvas
Lost Identity Katie #2 is one of Sung’s ‘Lost Identity’ series.
This series explores her life's journey to find her cultural identity through people, colour, and shapes. It expresses the conflict of culture, one of which she was born into and the other which she has adopted. Between these two differing cultures she feels she has lost her identity.
Sung paints her friends from various backgrounds wearing a traditional Korean costume called a ‘Han Bok’. Her work is somewhat realistic with an abstract twist. She also expresses her thoughts and emotions through colours and fragmented shapes. When she looks at images of people, she sees shapes made by light and dark.
