Kingdom of Inner Peace by Geoff Kim

“Dalai Lama says…’I believe that the very purpose of life is to be happy. From the very core of our being, we desire contentment. In my own limited experience I have found that the more we care for the happiness of others, the greater is our own sense of well-being. Cultivating a close, warmhearted feeling for others automatically puts the mind at ease. It helps remove whatever fears or insecurities we may have and gives us the strength to cope with any obstacles we encounter. It is the principal source of success in life. Since we are not solely material creatures, it is a mistake to place all our hopes for happiness on external development alone. The key is to develop inner peace.”

Born in Northern California, Geoff Kim is an artist recently graduated from Eugene Lang College of New School University and currently lives and works in Amsterdam, NL. His collage and mixed media work aims to build unseen and untold visual narratives as well as address the impact of visual culture itself in a globalized society. Juxtaposing new and old, Geoff uses found print material to merge popular visual culture of previous ‘present’ moments with images of contemporary visual culture creating a merger of time and worlds.
