MIRINAE PROJECT: JOURNEY INTO THE COSMOS

OPENING FRIDAY JUNE 30TH, 2023

7-10PM

EXHIBITION CLOSES WEDNESDAY JULY 12TH

Born in South Korea, my fascination with the sky has been an ongoing source of inspiration in my photographic journey. When I acquired my first DSLR camera, I was excited by its capabilities, allowing me to unveil the beauty of the universe.

My journey as an Astro-photographer began with capturing the breathtaking allure of the Milky Way. Witnessing the celestial dance of stars and nebulae ignited a fascination, leading me to focus on the genre of deep sky photography—an exploration of the awe-inspiring wonders beyond our own galaxy.

Creating these celestial renderings requires tremendous dedication and patience. Each image is a culmination of many hours spent collecting data--often 6 to 10 hours per image. With meticulous care, I gather fragments of light, capturing the intricate details of celestial phenomena. Through this painstaking process, I transform raw data into captivating visuals--inviting viewers to embark on their own cosmic journey.

I invite you to join me in this artistic exploration of the universe. It is my hope that my work inspires awe, curiosity, and an appreciation for the infinite wonders that grace our celestial stage.
