Artist Statement
My work operates at the intersection of sculpture, scientific inquiry, and engineered systems. I am drawn to how natural and mechanical structures mirror one another, and how these underlying geometries shape our physical and perceptual worlds. By engaging disciplines such as physics, aerodynamics, biomechanics, and engineering, I aim to create sculptural environments that function as expanded laboratories—spaces where complex ideas become tangible, experiential, and open to reinterpretation.
Research serves as the engine of my practice. I work through processes of experimentation and iteration, often beginning with a scientific phenomenon or mechanical principle—a magnetic field, fluid dynamic behavior, molecular symmetry, or an oscillation pattern—and translating its logic into physical form. Rather than illustrating science, I am interested in what emerges when a system is abstracted, disrupted, or scaled into an unfamiliar context. This translation creates friction between precision and intuition, allowing the work to oscillate between the engineered and the poetic.
Public art has become an essential extension of this inquiry. Large-scale commissions allow me to work with architectural space, urban flow, and infrastructural forces, transforming scientific concepts into immersive experiences. Projects such as Karman Street, Ryonjii Sky Mural, Light Field, and Fructose Orthrus engage with swirling vortices, atmospheric optics, particle behavior, color psychology and biological morphology, embedding scientific structures into civic environments. These works are conceived not as static monuments but as dynamic interfaces that shift with light, weather, and human interpretation.
Across all my projects, I am compelled by systems—how they behave, how they fail, and how they reveal the hidden architecture of the world. My sculptures invite viewers to consider both the visible and invisible forces shaping perception: vibration, flow, charge, gravity, resonance. Through material experimentation and scientific translation, I seek to produce encounters that generate curiosity, destabilize assumptions, and expand the perceptual field.
