Yeesookyung is an interdisciplinary artist living and working in Seoul, South Korea. Yeesookyung combines histories—art historical, spiritual, and cultural—into unique objects, imagery, and performances that reflect both her personal heritage and a global borderless moment. Internationally known for her acclaimed Translated Vase series, Yeesookyung collects discarded porcelain shards from Korean ceramists who make reproductions of porcelain masterworks.

Past Life Regression Paintings are an ongoing project by Yeesookyung, a monthly painting series inspired by hypnosis sessions that the artist undertakes. She began seeing a hypnotherapist in 2014, in hopes of recovering memories of her past lives. During each monthly hypnosis session, the artist regressed deeper and deeper into her subconscious, gradually piecing together narratives from previous incarnations—a Buddhist monk, a courageous warrior, a daughter whose father was falsely charged with treason, a roe deer and even bubbling water.
