Unbalanced
2025
Unbalanced metaphorically reveals low birth rates and population imbalance through the unfamiliar form of a seesaw designed for one person. A seesaw, which typically requires two people to move, is reimagined by the artist as a static, silent sculpture, prompting reflection on the notions of “coexistence” and “relationship.” This familiar object, rooted in the premise of being “together,” becomes dysfunctional, and its imbalance evokes a sense of alienation.

Perspective
2024
Everyone has experienced the disappointment of rolling the dice and getting an unfavorable result. Just as our choices sometimes fall short of our expectations, the way dice roll feels like a metaphor for life. The consequences of our choices and efforts remain invisible, evoking endless anxiety. However, much like this dice, where a 7 can be revealed depending on your perspective, the way we define outcomes depends on how we see them and choose to accept them. So, don’t hesitate to roll the dice—there may be hidden fortune(7) waiting beyond the uncertainty.

Sushi from 2053
2023
<Sushi from 2053> is a series of nine mutant sushi that are both familiar but slightly twisted. Minwook created strange-shaped sushi, such as blue-colored salmon sushi and two-tailed shrimp sushi, to convey a message addressing the discharge of contaminated water and the pollution of the marine ecosystem. Using sushi as a medium, he aims to raise awareness and consistent interest in ocean contamination.
