Oksun Kim doesn't show photography of new directed situation with dramatic effects. She observes everything as it is and records. In 'The Shining Things,' the artist sees a tree like portrait based on frontally. Trees in her photos have own expression and attitudes like a person. Oksun Kim shows each existence's difference at front as repeating an object's similar shape, color and form. And she recognizes existence of individual tree anew to show dally life of tress as existing object around us.
