Artist of the Month | Choi Sohee

Mapping the Mind Between Anxiety and Repair

Trauma doesn’t stay in the past.

It changes shape.

It returns as feeling,

as image,

as something you can’t always name—but can never quite escape.

Choi Sohee pulls that invisible unease onto the canvas.

The fear she felt as a child in the face of nature,

the instinct to build a “safe place” just to survive it—

Those emotions never disappeared.

They come back now as

red lines and constructed spaces.

1. The Red Line — Between Threat and Shelter

The red lines in her work are double-edged.

At times, they cut.

At times, they hold.

They aren’t decoration.

They’re mental architecture—

structures the mind builds

so it doesn’t collapse.

2. Ordered Anxiety — Where Emotion Takes Shape

The spaces feel abstract,

but nothing is accidental.

Every line, every color,

holds tension exactly where it’s meant to.

Here, anxiety no longer scatters.

It becomes

emotion with structure.

3. From Escape to Confrontation

Early works were about running.

Building worlds to hide inside.

Ways to avoid the real one.

But the direction has shifted.

Now, she holds fear still—

and faces it.

Utopia steps back.

What remains is a landscape of

direct encounter.

4. In the Artist’s Words

Choi Sohee doesn’t promise healing.

She doesn’t offer answers.

What she offers is bravery—

the courage to leave anxiety where it stands, in plain sight.

These paintings won’t fix you.

But they might give you

a place where you can finally stay.
