JungJiea believes that cultural differences create a barrier between people, resulting in a feeling of distance or boundary between individuals. To explore this concept further, she created an installation that represents this invisible barrier as a transparent wall made of compressed acrylic boards. The wall's shape symbolizes the repression of emotions and feelings of depression that can arise from cultural differences.
