This series transforms small gestures and expressions of others into hand-sized objects, which are placed on a wooden pedestal shaped in reference to the human form. The pedestal reflects my psychological state at the time, giving new context to the gestures it holds.

〈Seeds As They Are(있는 그대로 씨앗)〉은 타인의 사소한 제스처를 작은 오브제로 치환한 결과물과 인간의 심리적 상태를 형상화한 나무 구조물을 조합한 연작이다.
