The Suffer Hill – It Was a Forest is my graduation collection and a self portrait that explores how I experience and move through suffering.
The project is influenced by Seung mu, the Korean Monk’s Dance, where movement carries emotional weight. Through this reference, I approach suffering as something that stays with us and changes over time, rather than something to resolve.

The garments are developed from the structure of monk robes and elements of hanbok. They are made with lightweight technical fabrics and silk, allowing them to move with the body. Long extensions and sleeves follow the body’s movement, expressing weight, time, and continuation.

The work combines text, textile, choreography, and moving images. Collaboration with dancers allows the garments to fully exist through movement, where the body carries and releases emotional states.
This project does not observe suffering from a distance. It moves through it, reflecting on endurance, fragility, and the shared but deeply personal nature of human experience.
