Drawn to the paradox of the crustacean—an organism shielded in rigid chitin yet required to shed its entire protective shell to grow—Kim spent over 100 hours in solitary, meditative rendering. Using only fine-nib black fineliners on cotton rag, she translates cold, permanent ink into glistening, water-slick textures, organic weight, and blinding specular highlights. The result is both an intimate dialogue between artist and medium and an arresting, sculptural portrait of resilience.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli data-path-to-node=\"8\"\u003e\n\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"8\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eMedium -\u003c\/b\u003e Fine nib archival pigment fineliners on heavy Arches cold-pressed cotton rag paper\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-path-to-node=\"9\"\u003e\n\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"9\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eSize -\u003c\/b\u003e 81cm (W) × 146cm (H) unframed; approximately 97cm (W) × 162cm (H) × 3cm (D) framed\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-path-to-node=\"10\"\u003e\n\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"10\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eFrame -\u003c\/b\u003e Professionally custom framed with a contemporary 3cm black timber profile, finished with a 5cm acid-free conservation matboard.
