Most of Yoon Soo Jung's works are 'relationships between human life, objects, and space' and 'private memories and stories', which are the most common themes, to experience a temporary community through clothing, food, and housing as media. Because she thinks that the individual's life and memories are mirrors reflecting the culture and history of the group or country. She uses a method of capturing and collecting and images through repetitive actions to visualize the invisible side, between boundaries, or gaps. Her recent work is an endless exploration of concepts encompassing people, especially women's lives from the past to the present, social status and roles, gender identity, staying and wandering, the whole and the individual, and disconnection and communication.
