HIMANG Project - Visual Radio
Kimin Kim
Senior Student at MICA International Scholars
In an age where short videos have become a daily language, I seek to uncover the desires and anxieties hidden beneath their surface.
My work reveals the irony and unease behind familiar images, turning fleeting moments into spaces for reflection.
Rather than giving answers, I explore the unseen layers beneath what we take for granted.
