In 2021, the artist's interest shifted to a shorter and poor image which is GIF. Lee Eun (b.1995) converts the digital movement of "GIF" into a painting. For the artist, GIF is a projection of desire that can be seen "without thinking" and "seen without censorship'. Collecting (storing) gifs is a natural communication way and building an system of daily memories. In addition, the identity of the GIF, which is also a miniature version of desire, is amplified in the language of painting.

She focuses on the movement of 'action' rather than the situation of the object in the GIF. Rather than the interesting history of the characters in the GIF, it is important for the artist that they are doing something. It can also be guessed from the fact that the title of the work was made in onomatopoeia and mimetic words. The fact that the background of the gif is omitted from the work also shows that the artist is sensibly immersed in the movement of the gif object. In other words, what action the object is doing is an important condition that connects with the artist's personal desires and leads to pictorial transformation and collection of gifs. The 'step difference', which is the result of mixing the use of dry materials and emulsified hand painting, creates various layers and differences between movements. The track of the splashed marks and emphasized lines suggests that the artist quickly captured the movement of the gif. The cheerful outline represents the artist's point of view of the gif. Hand painting, which leaves a texture by rubbing the canvas, represents the artist's body. These 'traces' allow us to infer the prototype of the drawing behavior and the converted movement. The artist wants the audience to face infinite visual motility in the dynamic movement of the screen through traces and steps. Recently, the area of art work has been expanded from animation character gifs to text gifs. <CV> Lee Eun received a Bachelor of fine art from the Ewha Womans University in Seoul, Korea and receiving her Master of fine arts from the Seoul National University of Science and Technology.
