About So Young Park

My sculptural pieces express the power of life through organic plant forms and sea lives. The use of wires, beads, and other small elements represent the single cells that makeup all life. Each piece contributes to a long and painful process to create a beautiful piece, a beautiful life. The wires assist in narrating the story of a blooming and sprouting nativity. Most of my pieces are assembled through the harmonic use of wires, hammered textures, hand engraved patterns, and tiny concave shaped pieces creating, elegant, yet unusual visual forms.
