Jin​ ​Hee​ ​is​ ​a​ ​multidisciplinary​ ​visual​ ​artist,​ ​writer,​ ​community​ ​events​ ​organizer​ ​and​ ​(occasional)​ ​performer. Their​ ​fiber​ ​work​ ​deals​ ​with​ ​the​ ​dichotomy​ ​of​ ​privatization​ ​and​ ​exhibitionism​ ​when​ ​exploring​ ​identity​ ​and body​ ​politics.​ ​Jin​ ​strives​ ​to​ ​visualize​ ​the​ ​abstractions​ ​of​ ​these​ ​topics​ ​in​ ​a​ ​literal​ ​manner​ ​with​ ​thread​ ​and yarn​ ​by​ ​needle​ ​felting​ ​genitalia​ ​and​ ​decorating​ ​them.​ ​The​ ​decorative​ ​features​ ​draw​ ​in​ ​viewers​ ​to​ ​peer​ ​into something​ ​that​ ​is​ ​often​ ​hidden.​ ​They​ ​are​ ​interested​ ​in​ ​addressing​ ​topics​ ​of​ ​oppressive​ ​and​ ​regulative ideals​ ​set​ ​forth​ ​by​ ​East​ ​Asian​ ​beauty​ ​standards​ ​for​ ​women​ ​(i.e.​ ​plastic​ ​surgery​ ​and​ ​cosmetic​ ​industries) as​ ​an​ ​act​ ​to​ ​mimic​ ​Eurocentric​ ​beauty​ ​standards.They​ ​challenge​ ​these​ ​standards​ ​by​ ​integrating​ ​and reflecting​ ​cultural​ ​practices​ ​of​ ​body​ ​modification​ ​and​ ​suspension​ ​as​ ​a​ ​form​ ​of​ ​mental​ ​and​ ​bodily​ ​cleansing. They​ ​aim​ ​to​ ​shed​ ​light​ ​on​ ​forms​ ​of​ ​beauty​ ​and​ ​aesthetics​ ​that​ ​American​ ​ideals​ ​see​ ​as​ ​unorthodox. Jin​ ​is​ ​a​ ​2nd​ ​generation​ ​Korean​ ​American,​ ​born​ ​and​ ​raised​ ​in​ ​Hawaii.​ ​They​ ​received​ ​their​ ​Bachelor​ ​of​ ​Fine Arts​ ​in​ ​Visual​ ​and​ ​Critical​ ​Studies​ ​from​ ​the​ ​School​ ​of​ ​Visual​ ​Arts.​ ​Jin’s​ ​work​ ​has​ ​been​ ​exhibited​ ​in​ ​New York​ ​City,​ ​Los​ ​Angeles,​ ​Atlanta,​ ​Raleigh,​ ​and​ ​Honolulu.
