Haesun Hwang

Hae-Sun Hwang is an artist who has developed a unique practice she calls “drawing sculpture,” transforming moments from daily life, overlooked objects, and the memories they hold into three-dimensional works using materials such as fabric, glass, stainless steel, and aluminum. She explores the space between language and image, perception and existence, the meaning of objects, human relationships, and the interaction between plane and object, infusing her delicate observations and imagination into each piece. While her drawing sculptures may appear flat at first glance, the shadows cast by light become part of the drawing itself, creating a dynamic interplay of line, surface, and shadow that bridges the gap between two-dimensional and sculptural form. Over the years, Hwang has focused on themes of memory, everyday life, and communication. Through works imbued with warm imagery and emotions drawn from ordinary experiences, she invites viewers to engage with their own memories and feelings, fostering new relational connections.
