I am an animator and writer from the DC Metro area. For over 25 years, I have operated as a freelance artist, collaborating with a diverse spectrum of clients ranging from local small businesses to global corporations and high-profile celebrities. This extensive tenure has allowed me to master visual storytelling across multiple industries, and I have spent years balancing the demands of professional commercial work with my own personal creative projects.

Wednesday Kim is a Korean-born interdisciplinary artist working across video, print, sculpture, installation, and digital ritual. Her work explores trauma, motherhood, and memory through the lens of digital hauntology—where forgotten search data, screenshots, and erased histories return as emotional residue. Drawing from Korean folklore and internet subculture, she reimagines the Dokkaebi as a glitch-born spirit emerging from data remnants and e-waste.

I made this work in response the Canadian wildfires of summer 2023, when smoke turned our skies hazy red for weeks. I washed soot out of my air filters, froze the dirty water into discs of ice, and filmed them melting on the floor of my studio. I paired this with footage of a cornfield near my home that is now being developed. I have passed it since childhood. The work holds what felt familiar and fragile at the same time, touched gently by cataclysms far away.
The video is projected onto the paper relics of the process of melting the ice discs, with the watermarks and soot circles on them.
