On-Kyeong explores the play of abstracted natural forms and utilizes watercolor, painting, stitched imagery and collage in her work. She says of her work: “I embark on a journey of discovery akin to observing nature under magnification. Through contemplating the beauty and the ugliness inherent in these forms, I conceive of hybrid compositions that celebrate the profound interconnectivity of all living beings. As I guide my image through the sewing machine, I am reminded of the threads that bind us to nature and to each other.”
