KAI is a Korean visual artist whose practice centers on Hanji-based fiber sculpture and printmaking. She studied Visual Design at the Seoul Institute of the Arts and later earned a B.A. in Psychology through the College of the Liberal Arts at Pennsylvania State University in the United States, where she deepened her inquiry into visual language and the human psyche.

Before fully dedicating herself to fine art, KAI worked for over a decade as a visual director and photographer in both Korea and abroad, focusing on visual narratives and identity construction. Her current practice investigates how emotional and psychological experiences are embedded in time, memory, and relational space.

Using traditional hanji (Korean handmade paper) crafted from hand-processed dakfiber, she combines sculptural techniques with printmaking to create multilayered, tactile surfaces. These works explore the accumulation and erosion of emotional traces through repeated processes of layering, carving, and printing. KAI’s work is grounded in a reinterpretation of traditional Korean materials through a contemporary lens, merging Eastern aesthetics with formal abstraction.

She lives and works in Seoul.
