Han's main focus is space. She creates paintings and installations using formal elements such as form, color, and light. Han's artistic practice is deeply rooted in her fascination with the interplay between physical and emotional spaces. Her inspirations from preexisting places and spaces, emotions, and more recently, narrative elements, guide Han's exploration of the idea of space. She also incorporates multimedia and synesthesia into her installations to enhance viewers' experiences.
