Sangsik Hong's artistic ingenuity shines through in his remarkable relief sculptures, which exude an undeniable sense of awe and wonder. Through the meticulous manipulation of plastic drinking straws, Hong showcases his exceptional attention to detail and unique approach to texture and color. Each straw is carefully hand-cut and strategically placed based on its length, resulting in mesmerizing patterns and a visual symphony of hues. The clever use of the mounting box as a source of color adds an element of surprise and dynamism, with the artwork transforming as viewers move around it. Hong's choice to sculpt body parts, particularly lips, using everyday materials that are typically rigid and inorganic, highlights his ability to evoke smoothness and grace in unexpected ways.
