Known for her expansive sculptural work and use of found items, Shin examines the complex relationship between material consumption, collective identity, and community engagement through her public sculptures and installations. For her installation at the Carter, Jean Shin: The Museum Body, Shin created a textile-based portrait of the Museum's employees, through clothing items donated by workers customarily visible and invisible to the Museum’s visitors. Separating the fabric from its seams, Shin shaped these elements into a large-scale wall mural with immersive hanging elements that activated the gallery walls and ceiling.

The exhibition is a continuation of Cut Outs and Suspended Seams (2004), a project presented by Shin 20 years ago at the Museum of Modern Art QNS. The donated clothing items from the Carter staff were interwoven with the pre-existing MoMA work as an evolving record of the global art community.
