Minji Kang-Watrous, 39-year-old Korean-born artist, skillfully navigates the fine line between tradition and modernity in her art. Renowned for infusing historical depth with contemporary flair, Kang-Watrous' journey into art has led her to innovate within the realm of bear bricks, blending traditional Korean paper, Hanji, with this modern medium to create something truly unique. Sourced from a century-old family shop in Insadong, South Korea, the Hanji used in her work connects her pieces to a lineage of artisanal craftsmanship, embedding each creation with personal and historical narratives.
