Se Young Au (b. 1984, Seoul) is an artist who lives and works in Los Angeles.

Throughout my work, I am committed to multi-disciplinary language imbued with agility that can navigate between the pervasiveness of loss and the sublimity of evoking the natural world. The redirection of grief held in the body takes form as saturated beauty held in suspension, in itself an act of radical defiance, to hold and uplift hope.

As an artistic practice, I strive to conceive works from a place where loss is subverted into the creation of alternative worlds and how we survive the brutality of intersecting systems. My aim is to regain agency over my personal mythology, and to assert myself as fully embodied; a reclamation of spirit that defies space and time.
