The Chasing the Light series was born during a deeply personal transformation for Hansol, as she navigated pregnancy in 2021. Previously accustomed to working in emotional and literal darkness, often wrestling with addiction and despair, Hansol found herself shifting toward something new as she prepared for motherhood. Light began to emerge in her work—an exploration of hope within the shadows.

This series took three years to share with the world, as each piece symbolizes her belief that only through darkness can we truly see light. Without experiencing hardship, we fail to appreciate joy. Through textured layers and delicate contrasts of light and dark, Hansol captures moments of illumination that reflect hope amid today's overwhelming struggles—particularly during a time when war and loss dominate the global narrative.

Chasing the Light speaks to resilience, offering solace in a world overshadowed by grief. It is a visual reminder that even in the darkest times, light exists, waiting to be seen.
