Sohee Goo
About
Sohee Goo is a visual artist based between Seoul and London, working across photography and installation. Her practice is rooted in East Asian aesthetics and philosophical inquiry, often meditating on the nature of perception, value, and interpretation.
Using ordinary yet symbolically charged objects—most notably the egg—Sohee Goo constructs quiet yet profound reflections on life. Through repetition and nuancedvariation, she elevates the mundane into the poetic, inviting contemplation on fragility, transformation, and the cyclical nature of existence.
Alongside this, she engages with natural imagery, digitally transforming and distorting it into three-dimensional forms. These manipulated landscapes question the boundary between the real and the artificial, disrupting familiar perspectives and challenging fixed ways of seeing.
A recurring thread in her work is the simple yet disarming question: “What do you think?” In posing this, Sohee Goo turns the viewer’s gaze inward, encouraging not just interpretation, but an awareness of the very act of interpreting itself.
