Shunita (b.1992) is an artist based in Seoul, Korea. Shunita’s exhibition, <Dive into Deep Water: Inner Pond> starts from Sep. 1 to Oct. 7, 2023, at Kimreeaa Gallery. Shunita expresses the story of ‘Muumyung (No Name)’

‘Muumyung’ arrives on Earth for food and fulfills his physical hunger. Afterward, ‘Muumyung’ feels hungry mentally, and tries to make up for the constant mental deficiency and emptiness within human relationships. ‘Muumyung’, lacking in emotions and expressions, explores the internal world through encounters with others’ deficiencies. Shunita expresses human attitudes toward life through ‘Muumyung’, a being that conveys comfort and empathy. To depict the world of ‘Muumyung’, Shunita uses elements of imaginary beings, the invisible world, and emotions and expressions that cause pain for many people. ‘Muumyung’ has the aspect of a divine being. Still, rather than the aspect of salvation, it is a being that leads us to the questions about our emotions which will help us to achieve inner enlightenment. In this exhibition, Shunita shows expressionless ‘Muumyung’ and its inner emotions through colorful paintings, ceramics, and cardboard and sticker installations. ‘Muumyung’ in the gallery will lead audiences into the different depths of inner emotions.
