The Artist’s profile
I have been re-recognized the role of an object using silicone as the main material and have captured the moments of change and transformation. <Cast Skin Series> empathizes with the sorrow of the abandoned shell after fulfilling its duty and makes it a subject. When a new life is born, the original exuviae loses all eyes and attention. The fate of cast skin, who always gave up the main character’s place to a new life, was thrown away, and this was replaced by melting away the original form. A thin cast skin with a history of growth rises at the site where the original is melted, raising the meaning of existence. This cast skin, which retains the shape of the kernel it was holding, further reveals its presence through change.
