Fine Art

Jihye Sage Baek works between photography and drawing, using ordinary objects as emotional and symbolic forms. Flowers, eggs, chains, and fabric recur throughout her practice—not as still-life subjects, but as carriers of memory, tension, intimacy, and transformation. Her work explores identity, female psychology, motherhood, and interpersonal relationships through images that feel both delicate and unsettling. Drawn to what she calls ugly beautiful, Baek creates quiet visual riddles where tenderness and discomfort, beauty and unease, can exist at once.
