Imprint: Guardian Trace
Imprint collections are inspired by the idea of fingerprints. Imprint: Guardian Trace expresses my connection to my Korean heritage. Just as fingerprints glow under UV light, I wanted to reveal the cultural identity that lives beneath my skin. I chose two important symbols: the Inju Dojang (red name seal) and the Haetae (a traditional guardian creature). Through these, I show my identity while also protecting it.
