Soojungjung's painting portrays her perspective towards life: society changes, yet certain constants remain the same. People tend to believe every event in life is a series of decision-making process based on logics and facts. Soojungjung challenges this idea. She believes that the invisible "Qi(氣,the vital life force)" exists all around us, and that it affects all living things' action in the subconscious level. The “Qi” triggers fundamental behaviors that often cannot be explained by science or mankind's train of thoughts. Emotions like jealousy, bellicosity, pleasures are typical examples of this.
Soojungjung finds the traces of "Qi" from both old and new. Fairies and supernatural beings from old folk tales and myths show instances where humans tried to portray the unexplainable, and the series of current affairs too require something more than mere facts and logics to be fully elaborated.
The paintings of Soojungjung illustrate her angle by channeling the invisible through the visible. The nature, animals and humans in her paintings both harmonize and struggle with one another. Their actions are visible in the naked eye, but the motivation behind their behaviors cannot be explained by logics and science: the invisible, but inevitable idea of "Qi" functions as a necessity for the clear interpretations.
Soojungjung's way of seeing the world might seem uncanny, and so are her paintings. Be that as it may, her illustration of the objects is discerning.
