Yeji Moon

Korean-born Moon’s work is inspired by her upbringing in a small neighborhood, and her experiences working with Habitat for Humanity. She transforms ordinary material into beautiful and complex collages that powerfully recall childhood nostalgia and the rapidly changing world. Her three-dimensional compositions are created using newspapers which she skillfully rips, twists, and pastes back together. The fragility of newspaper speaks to her fascination with change and reflects the ease at which people and places are transformed, compounded by the rise of urbanization and new media.
