Eunju works across a broad range of media, including sculpture, spatial installation, and drawing. With years of experience working with clay, she has expanded her practice to include a variety of materials, such as paper, wood, metal, and electronic components.
Her work is often inspired by myths and shamanism, where she finds the intersection of spirituality, materiality, and cultural heritage deeply compelling.
Eunju has received multiple artist grants from Norway and South Korea. Her work has been exhibited nationally and internationally, including at Kunstnerforbundet (Norway), Den Frie Udstillingsbygning (Denmark), and the Westerwald Ceramic Museum (Germany). Her works are also part of notable collections such as KOCEF – Korea Ceramic Foundation (South Korea), Wergelandshaugen (Norway), and the Arctic Ceramic Centre (Finland).
