Inyoung believes society is quick to judge by surface, but that embroidery, its process transparent in every stitch, reveals the maker without misunderstanding. The works incorporate the Western gestural mark, influenced by 一筆揮之, the single decisive stroke of East Asian calligraphy.

These marks appear instantaneous at a glance but, up close, are built from countless slow, repetitive stitches. When viewers linger, Inyoung feels truly seen, and finds deep joy in it.

The world moves at a dizzying pace; everything is generated, consumed and replaced in an instant, like unsettled weather swinging between heat and cold. Those who miss the usual blooming season are treated as failures. Yet in such weather, what matters may not be how quickly or brilliantly one blooms, but how deeply one takes root to grow a flower that lasts.

They are not slow because they are less.

They are slow because they are vaster.
