A lamp modeled on cell division, a pair of rings joined by magnets: the work moves back and forth between jewelry and objet. Every piece is shaped by hand only after it is ordered. Not mass production, but a process that creates organisms that differ one by one. The forms are borrowed from nature, but the results are born entirely from human fingertips.
They hope art will seep in anywhere outside the gallery, and so their slogan is We are everywhere. Like microorganisms, everywhere. These small life forms growing on bodies, on stages, in everyday life are now spreading beyond the K-pop scene into wider territory. Perhaps one of these organisms will soon grow on your body, too.
