Sangsik Hong's awe-inspiring relief sculptures are a testament to his extraordinary artistic vision and meticulous craftsmanship. Using humble plastic drinking straws as his medium, Hong hand-cuts and meticulously arranges them based on their lengths, resulting in mesmerizing textures and a kaleidoscope of colors. The vibrant hues emanate from the background of the meticulously mounted box, creating a captivating play of light and shade as viewers move past the artwork. Hong's artistic prowess is further showcased through his creation of body parts, particularly lips, using everyday materials that are typically inorganic and rigid. This juxtaposition of form and material yields impeccably smooth sections, adding a touch of elegance to the overall human representation.
