You came all the way here after all
2025- ongoing project

These pieces began while I was riding the subway in Korea, passing over a small uninhabited island thick with summer vegetation. For a moment, I thought, “No one could enter that place,” and then immediately questioned why I was measuring it by human standards at all. ...

Minjee(b. 1999) is a New York–based artist working across painting, sculpture, and installation. Her practice explores moments when relationships between people, spaces, and materials remain partial or misaligned. She creates temporary, foldable spaces that foreground shifting proximity and incomplete encounters. She refers to this ongoing condition as the Skew Universe.

Minjee constructs temporary, foldable spaces where images, objects, and viewers coexist without fully coinciding. Working across painting and installation, she treats these not as fixed categories but as ways images extend into and negotiate with space. Surfaces may protrude or partially obscure one another, interrupting a complete view. She refers to this condition as the Skew Universe: a state in which entities continually approach one another without fully meeting.

Her approach is grounded in the belief that coexistence does not resolve into seamless unity. Rather than fixing relationships into stable forms, she creates situations where proximity persists and complete coincidence remains unattainable. Meaning emerges through the viewer’s movement and shifting perspective within the space.
