Ambient is a reflection of my cold but also sentimental feelings about urban culture. It portrays my experience as a Korean and as part of Korean culture, against the backdrop of my current life in London. To understand and thus survive in everyday life in South Korea, one of the skills required is '눈치(noonchi)', a term expressing a particular degree of emotional intelligence and the ability to read other people and social cues. As a socially cohesive culture, it is a skill that is particularly valued in Korea, one that maintains social harmony, that is assumed or implicitly expected. It pervades all areas of social life - family, friendships and especially corporate culture - and it will often place the opinions and well-being of the group before those of the individual. To participate in society, one is expected to read and understand others, without considering one’s own place within the group or outside of it. It requires sacrifice and one risks losing one’s identity in the process. Ultimately, identity is defined by one’s social milieu rather than individual character. How much sacrifice do I need to make to be a part of this culture and this society I am so closely connected to? Ambient started with this question, as a refusal of these expectations. I wanted to show the 'natural relationships' between nature and people. I wanted to show all their different personalities, and the beautiful harmony that is formed when we stand as ourselves rather than as someone that society expects of us.

Kirsty Sim (Korean:심훈) (born 02 November, 1990) is a South Korean artist. She lives and works in London and Seoul. Kirsty studied MA Photography at the Royal College of Art in London to further the research of humanities and relationships of existence that do not exist in real life. She has been working as a photographer with Fashion and Art Magazines and, last year, she was selected for the Bloomberg New Contemporary 2020. Kirsty Sim’s work shows a constructive aspect of photography by manipulating reality and rebuilding facts. She uses art to actualise what she wants to see as it allows a space for fantasies to become their own reality
