Jennifer Shin is an interdisciplinary artist based in New York and Seoul. Working primarily with paper, food, and traditional handcrafts, she explores themes of home, memory, and ephemerality. Through repetitive handcraft, she transforms everyday objects—from to-do lists to seasonal produce—into sculptures, inviting viewers to reflect on the transient nature of life. Her labor-intensive processes underscore a desire to preserve the impermanence while simultaneously acknowledging the futility of doing so.


Extending her practice to the culinary arts, Jennifer creates immersive edible installations and curated dining experiences that encourage the audience to engage with food in multi-sensory ways. Her intricately designed tablescapes, often featuring seasonal produce, play with food’s forms, colors, and textures. Through this, she challenges traditional notions of utility and explores how the fleeting nature of food can evoke memory, build community, and inspire new perspectives on the act of eating.


She received her Bachelor of Fine Arts in Art with a minor in Soft Technologies and Innovation and Entrepreneurship from Carnegie Mellon University in 2024.
