Photos from Second Solo Exhibition
The Way Nature Stays
at LJL Art Space, Seoul 2025
Her second solo exhibition, The Way Nature Stays (2025), turned its gaze toward the egrets of Bulgwangcheon, a restored urban stream in Seoul. Combining illustration, photography, and video, the works revealed how nonhuman life carves out quiet forms of persistence in artificial environments. Here, the egret became both witness and guide, suggesting another way of dwelling, where survival is not resistance alone, but a shared rhythm between city and nature.
This exploration continued into Zanmulgyeol (Ripples), a zine that gathers photographs, drawings, and field notes on urban birds and architectural motifs. While the exhibition traced the egret’s presence in a specific site, the zine disperses those observations into fragments, echoing how memory and ecology ripple outward beyond the gallery. Together, they form part of the Nomadic Fluidity Series, documenting overlooked relations between migration, ecology, and the city’s hidden margins.

Showcased in Your Local News Stand (Singapore, 2025)
Bazinega and Other Academic Venues in India - TBA
Zanmulgyeol is an ongoing research and art project tracing subtle ripples, visual, ecological, and historical across Korea’s built landscapes. Through photography, illustration, and fieldwork, it uncovers forgotten symbols, migratory patterns, and the quiet dialogue between nature and architecture. Rooted in observation and resonance, Zanmulgyeol records the living archive of what remains, returns, and resists disappearance.











From TEDxSeoul’ SPRINTS and the British Embassy Seoul’s Artists for Climate initiative to ongoing community-driven climate art, Junos practice bridges illustration, photography, and research.
