Once, “self care” was the new “me time”, which was the new “pampering”, a trio of saccharine terms that can seem hopelessly out of date in a world that’s so strange and terrifying.

This image entitled Me Time by Eunmi Kim is simultaneously compelling, eerie and comforting. The UK-based, Korean-born artist recently showed her work in a group show, The Other Side of The Moon, which presented art works that merge the familiar with the alien—something this piece does very well indeed.
