Ha-Na Ju is a painter from the Republic of Korea.

The main character in the work of the artist Ha-Na Ju's is 'Woman'.

The woman signifies the artist herself at first. However, it is also appropriate to substitute her for all those who have lost self identity.

'How am I, my being, perceived by others?'

It was the biggest concern in her life and it was a motive that supported her life.

'Others' were everyone but her. She wanted to be recognized by all of them.

Thus, her painting is a diary that verifies her identity, and it is a substitute for the anxiety on her self-esteem which is difficult to break every hour of every day.

Above all, it conveys her awareness of herself as the subject and ultimately, is in the verification of the existence of 'self'.

Today, her works are housed in numerous collectors.
