Non/Isolated (2018)

A sculpture made of soap and resin in the U-shaped wooden box holding water dissolves, and is deformed by the passage of time. An air pump installed in the water allows water breathe, and time passes, the water that has been transparent in the box turns opaque little by little because of the dissolved soap. When the dissolved soap reaches to the edge where the air pump is, bubbles start coming up and disappearing, and continue to repeat. At the end, the soap part of sculpture all dissolves and the resin part only remains. LED lights in the water make great atmosphere in the space creating the reflection of water on the ceiling. This temporal work simply shows ephemeral existence and invisible energy movements through the dissolving phenomenon.

물이 담긴 나무상자에 쓰러지듯 들어간 들어간 푸른 비누 조각은 그 공간의 온도, 습도에 따라 변형된다. 그것은 스스로 공간의 습기를 모아 물방울을 생성하고, 그 물방울들은 조각 위에 맺히거나, 표면을 따라 흘러내리기도 한다. 조각의 형상은 시간에 의해 물에 녹아 조금씩 사라진다. 거품들은 생겨나고 사라지고를 계속해서 반복하고, 하나의 끈으로 이어진 두 물병 중 하나의 물병이 가벼워질수록 다른 하나의 물병은 중력에 의해 점점 하강한다. 재료의 일시성과 시간에 의한 물질의 변화를 보여주는 이 작업은 움직이는 것과 정지한 것, 살아있는 것과 죽은 것, 활동하는 에너지와 비활동하는 에너지, 열린 체계 open system 와 닫힌 체계 isolated system 를 동시 시각화하고자 했다.
