Soojin Pray
Korean Ritual Artist & Digital Healer
I dance to remember
I wear the unfinished mask
I perform the forgotten
Through ritual,
I remember the erased.Through breath,
I embody what was once sacred.Through stillness,
I offer a return.
About
Soojin Pray is a Korean ritual artist, performer, and digital healer.
Her practice is rooted in Korean traditional dance, East Asian feminine cosmology, and embodied memory. She creates ceremonial works that reclaim the forgotten and offer a return to the sacred.Through digital rituals, immersive performances, and community-based meditative actions, she reimagines the body as a vessel of memory and the mask as a living archive.She is the founder of SPACE MOUM, and the creator of We, We Wish, GOYO Meditation Planet, and the Holistic Self-Care series. Her work has been supported by Arts Council Korea and developed across XR festivals and testbeds (including Art Korea Lab’s XR program and NewImages Festival, Paris), online media art platforms, and intimate wellness spaces.
