Since 2012, Haenuli has expanded her art world to the United States, creating unique artworks that cross borders of art and fashion.
Most well known art series - "Their Story - The Story You Don't Know" features a skeleton and a maiden that sends a message of "it is okay to be sad" and finding comfort during despair and sadness.
