Life imitates art. But for most artistes, art stems from personal experiences. Korean artist Kim Seola, who will display her works in her debut solo exhibition, Momentary Sonorant, in India, delves into her childhood memories to seek inspiration.

As an adolescent, Seola witnessed the transformation of her hometown, Yousu-si, into a city and with that the shift in the physical landscapes as well as human values. While the leafy, tree-lined paths were replaced with traffic signals, the beautiful mountains were hidden behind tall structures. This affected her deeply.
