Shinyoung Park

Shinyoung Park reconstructs the sociocultural characteristics of unfamiliar environments encountered while traveling across different regions into subjective records. Park often explores the boundaries between humans and animals, civilization and nature, reality and imagination—inviting viewers to reconsider events unfolding beyond the spatiotemporal positions they inhabit. Fragments collected from various places are recorded through printmaking, drawing, and sculptural works using materials such as paper, wood, and stained glass. In addition, the limitations of synchronic and diachronic senses experienced in contemporary life let her take a fresh look at the myriad events that occur beyond her own space and time. Ultimately, her works summon senses erased by modern civilization and natural science, and become symbols with secret stories.
