Bystander

2022 - 24 x 5 x 4cm Each Figure
​Thread on Resin Cast

My wok focuses on the individual in the contemporary society today. I explore the neutrality and duality of the individual as a distinct unity and again as a constituent of the collective society. I shed light on the social phenomena surrounding the individual in contemporary social space, especially on negative conditions such as bystander effect, mass psychology, scapegoating, and biases. Using East Asian element of the thread, which represents human life, to form human figure-like works, my art looks at the problems of the modern man from a third-person perspective. 
Since 2012, my work has explored the social phenomenal in the collective society. Based on the idea of the bystander effect, The Bystander series which began in 2012 is still a work in-progress, which focuses on the cold-hearted social neglect and ignorance on those in need. In 2013, the work Witness delved into how such heartless bystanders become an invisible witness. The series Blame You in 2014 shed light on relationships, conflict of forces, and acts of rejecting responsibilities in the society. In the Bias series in 2015, which used glasses as the medium, the work demonstrated the human tendency to judge others through a distorted viewpoint as if the subjective sense of judgement of an individual stands for the objective one of the whole.
