Wonjin researches public realms in urban spaces, focusing on the phenomena of urban decline. His work examines how abandoned and neglected sites can be reimagined to restore publicness and community life. He is also the founder of Image Narrative Works, a practice based on the belief that every phenomenon carries narratives beyond its surface. With experience spanning architecture, interior design, installations, sculpture, photography, and public projects, his work seeks to uncover invisible values and reflect on the evolving social role of design. His research connects urban decline with the pursuit of invisible values and the redefinition of design’s social role.
