Soprano
The word "soprano" comes from the Italian word sopra (above, over, on top of), as the soprano is the highest pitch human voice. "Soprano" refers mainly to women, but it can also be applied to men able to sing in the soprano vocal range. Yoon wanted to express the liberation and joy she felt while hearing the high pitched notes sung by the soprano.


Story of Barbies
There is always music in Jeongwon Yoon’s studio. Yoon is a classical music fan and starts her work day with the sound of Choral Music. The classic radio stations become like a friend for the artist. For Yoon, Barbie is a musical note within the music that she can see and hear.
