This is something only the artist Junhyeok Jang \u2013 who creates multi-layered graphic and photographic works \u2013 can answer. It all begins with his film camera: \u201cI capture everyday moments and later extract fragments from these images to reinterpret as visual graphics,\u201d he says. Addressing themes of environment awareness, collective memory and nostalgia, Junhyeok\u2019s work are a corridor to connect two mediums, and the natural and digital worlds.<\/p>\n<p data-block-key=\"2v29d\">Junhyeok reframes the ordinary, opening the door to new meanings and associations.

Junhyeok\u2019s reinterpretations repurpose the old as new, producing compositions with depth and sharpness. But, these are more than pixelated experiments: \u201cMy aim is to create work that resonates with people through shared experiences, while delivering subtle but essential messages about the environment,\u201d Junhyeok ends.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"How does a photograph of melting snow turn into the silhouette of a polar bear?
