Ingrid Sanghee Edwards is a Transnational Artist and Cultural Innovator who calls herself a Recycled Human and a Creative Engine. A multidisciplinary artist sometimes and an interdisciplinary artist at others, she connects fine art, digital media, and experiential design, transforming personal narrative into a powerful and complex exploration of identity. Born in South Korea and raised in the United States, she now creates from Amsterdam, developing work that challenges cultural boundaries.

Her practice spans mixed media, performance, and digital platforms, collaborating with global brands like Microsoft and Tommy Hilfiger. Through six core initiatives—including CultureVaderZ, DigitalNavigatorZ, and LandShifterZ—Edwards merges art, innovation, and social transformation.

Internationally exhibited, Ingrid has participated in numerous prestigious shows, including the 1st Asia Biennial/5th Guangzhou Triennial (2015) and in association with the Shanghai Biennale (2018). In the same year, her work was featured in both Seoul and Pyeongchang in association with the 2018 PyeongChang Winter Olympics for the 40 day art residency  Deep In the Mountains where she had the opportunity to meet the Mayor of PyeongChang and received support from the Arts Council Korea. Additionally, she contributed in association with the Bucharest Biennale in 2020, where her work premiered at the reopening of the National Museum of Contemporary Art in Bucharest in 2022.  With art being her therapy and creative catharsis, her art recycles discarded elements into stories of healing and empowerment. Edwards sees art as a universal language, creating immersive experiences that celebrate diversity and inspire collective growth.

Artist Statement:
"My art is a dialogue between the personal and the universal. By recycling discarded materials, emotions, and ideas, I create narratives to tell my secrets, inspire healing, feeling, reflection, and transformation. Each piece challenges perceptions of value, the self, the ego and the spirit, reshapes identity, and celebrates the courage to embrace change. Art, creativity and invention are my languages of empowerment…a bond to connection, a spark to introspection, so as to pave the way for a more collective kind of growth."
