Song Yeol Joo has researched a property of steel. Using iron, stainless steel and aluminum can, he creates a form of a bag. To combine wealth the bag has with heaviness and kitschy prerequisite of fake bag, he uses aluminum. As contrasting elements complete the bag, it expose two inner sides. This is his 6th exhibition and 8 art works will be showed.
This work is to awaken potential inner side and express it. Including me, I assume that everyone has reason and sensitivity, jealousy, desire and hope, selfishness and consideration, and violence and peacefulness, and different thoughts always conflict each other. Especially, duplicity of material possession can be for survival. However, in the contemporary society, it is changed into unnecessary possessiveness, which I try to show through my work.
