Mue Studio, Somewhere in the World (2021).

Mue Studio (Minjin Kang and Mijoo Kim) specialises in “visual escapism” – through three-dimensional image design, art direction and photography. The studio creates digital non-places that exist between fantasy and reality, exploring how artificial places might still offer refuge and solace. These serene compositions quiet the mind through rippling pools and soothing sunsets.

Mue Studios

"...They cite choosing an appropriate color palette as an integral part of their artistic process. “As we use the uniform color palette, it enables us to convey the moods, feelings we want to generate. Colors bring a sense of peace, clarity, and even protection, and we believe it is the strongest device to describe subtle emotion...”

-This statement on how Mue studio used colour as a tool to convey and evoke emotions is intriguing, as I can use this in my own works to intentionally create and control what emotion the viewer can feel.

Mue studios works are described as 'visual ASMR'

"exploring blurring the boundary between fantasy and reality"

And creating a "dream like space" or a sort of "virtual vacation.

Liminal Space in Contemporary Art

Ferdinanda Florence

“I’ve always been drawn to liminal spaces, which are slippery, unfixed, and locationally ambiguous—such as the threshold between inside and outside,” writes Ferdinanda, who considers her themes metaphors for life’s paradoxes. “My paintings include agents of liminal space, doorways that both invite and potentially decline access. In the past, my work has focused on exteriors, buildings viewed from across the street or through chain link fence. Slowly, I am making my way inside.”

Filip Bartodziejski

"I am extremely interested in level/lighting art. I am exploring and experimenting with different ideas almost every day, trying to learn as much as I can in the process."

Mue Studios

Creative duo Minjin Kang and Mijoo Kim form NYC’s Mue Studio. They specialize in art direction, photography, and 3D image design for campaigns or installations, focusing on creating a visual identity helping brands express themselves.

"Somewhere in the World' is open-ended – leaving the mind to wander and explore in expansive horizons. Meditative and surreal, these pastel planes are the perfect locations to dip into, with peaches and blues blending seamlessly and satisfactorily into one another. The studio creates digital non-places that exist between fantasy and reality. They ask questions about how artificial places might still offer us refuge and solace. Dusk is always on the horizon; clouds, moons and blow-up balls drifting through the landscapes."

Let's just quickly mindfully check-in. How are you feeling, right now? Can you name any feelings that are here? (it's ok if there are loads, little or none) How are you feeling physically? Are you holding any tension. Perhaps... In your jaw or brow. As best you can letting go of any tension you might be holding; so your body is feeling soft and open. Carrying on.

Everything is possible when you’re young. Limitless. You take impulsive decisions that might not be that smart, and your imagination runs wild. You’re invincible. You’re immortal. You think you’ll always be young, but before you know it, you’re growing up and it’s all going too fast even if it’s too slow. You’re all too human, and you feel everything rawer and more intense than adults do. You don’t know how it’s possible to feel as much as you do, and you don’t know what to do with those feelings. You can’t imagine there being an end. But there is and some days, you’re impatient for that day to come so you can leave it all behind and other days, you want to stay like this forever.

The theme for Lights on Park Ave Round 22 is youth. Here are the prompts:

Round 22 will end on June 30, 11:59 PM ET (what time is that for me?).

As always, you’re free to jump in whenever you’d like during the round, a wide variety of work types is accepted, and there are no minimum work requirements. Unfinished works and works for other fandom events are allowed. You can find more information about Lights on Park Ave and the participation guidelines here.
