Sacred Unfolding

Sacred Unfolding employs intuitive ink painting, patterns, and fabric installation to explore spirituality, Buddhist philosophy, and phenomenology, drawing on my lived experience to reflect on our shared human condition. At its core, my work seeks to reveal inner divinity and life’s continuous flux, guided by Buddhist principles of impermanence and interconnection. From handmade ink paintings to digitally manipulated symbolic, repeated patterns, into digitally printed fabric installations, Sacred Unfolding creates a contemplative space that invites quiet reflection, fostering a dialogue with spiritual presence and becoming, and offering a gentle respite from the material world.

 

Bina Jean is a Korean multidisciplinary artist based in Melbourne, working across painting, digital processes, printmaking, fabric installation, and mixed media. Guided by Eastern philosophy and spirituality, her practice explores the boundaries between body, nature, and spirit, expressing the quiet essence and inner divinity within all beings. Jean’s artistic journey began following a spiritual awakening that led her away from a decade-long career in fashion.
