Jeongan Choi

She thinks about thoughts, days, and the way time builds up. Her work often begins with her notes—fragments from a day, tick, tick, broken words, sentences read on strangers’ backs. These pieces stay with her and shape how she sees things. Drawing and writing are the main ways she follows these fragments into form, along with photography and zine-making. She often follows the sense that even small coincidences have direction. Born in Seoul and now living in Cologne, she draws and writes daily, not to prove what she knows, but to wonder what it means to really know and to pay attention to what quietly lingers.
