Seung Ah Paik: Suspended Landscapes presents paintings that depict the artist's own body — intertwined hands, feet, limbs, torsos — from an uncanny first-person perspective that mirrors how we perceive our corporeal selves. Drawing on portrait techniques from the late Joseon Dynasty, Paik reproduces the specificities of her own skin with meticulous fidelity, connecting body parts at unexpected and contorted angles. The resulting works stand as an antithesis to filtered ideals of beauty, foregrounding the body as a living, cartographic archive.
