Minjeong An explores personal memories and experiences through the visual language of anatomical diagrams and scientific imagery. Beginning with the self and extending to family structures, maternal care, healing, childbirth, and postpartum experiences, she transforms intimate moments from everyday life into intricate visual systems. Her work makes visible the emotions, relationships, and memories embedded within the body and in ordinary routines, translating experiences that are often overlooked or difficult to articulate into diagrams and images. While rooted in the specificity of her own life, these works expand into broader reflections on the body, family, care, memory, and human relationships, inviting viewers to reconsider the familiar through an unfamiliar visual order.
