Doorim's projects primarily revolve around themes of communication and communion. Similar to the essence of a poem, her films possess a distinctive power in the spaces between the visuals and sounds. In these pauses, viewers are encouraged to take a breath and embark on imaginative journeys of their own. Consequently, her projects aim not only to showcase moving images but also to unearth the profound meanings hidden within them, such as emotions, the passage of time, weight, and the intangible pressure of air.
Recently, Doorim successfully produced and directed her feature film, titled "A Whale Who Drinks a Fishbowl." This accomplishment stands as a testament to her creative vision and unwavering dedication to the art of storytelling.
