Im Sunny seeks to re-examine, within the trajectory of contemporary painting, the problem of flatness—a question that emerged after Cézanne, when painting began with the effort to eliminate the objective representation of the external appearance of objects.
 
For her, flatness is not the illusion of space produced through linear perspective, but rather the density and layering that become visible through the intervals and relationships between areas of color.

In other words, through 'color' and 'brushstroke', she aims not to depict the form of an object but to further foreground the pictorial elements that constitute it, thereby preserving the object’s presence while simultaneously inscribing the subject’s act of seeing onto the surface of the canvas.
