Eunjo will be holding her first solo exhibition at the Niru Ratnam Gallery in London in 2025.
Commenting on her prize, Eunjo said: “While it is easy to feel uncertain and waver in the long-term commitment that the journey of being an artist entails, this award has provided me with immense support and encouragement as I take my first steps post-graduation, for which I am truly grateful. It has strengthened my belief in my work, giving me the drive to continue developing. I would like to express my heartfelt thanks to the judges for valuing my work and recognising its potential.
“Moving forward, as an artist focusing on digital media, I plan to create works that explore the primordial archetypes of the human mind and reinterpret them within a contemporary mythological context, in gratitude for the support this prize has provided. I would also like to extend my gratitude to my tutors and peers at the Ruskin for their collaboration and guidance, dedicating this honour especially to my tutor Adham, Juliet for composing the music, Harry for his work on the sound, and Steph for the narration.”
