"I am an observer, endlessly curious about the truth of the world."

For Jung Jisook, everything in the world is organically connected and constantly evolving.

She believes that our perception of reality extends beyond the five senses. Intuition, emotion, the passage of time, and subtle inner experiences are equally real, even if they cannot be fully explained in words.

Her sculptures are an attempt to give form to these invisible experiences.

Rounded, organic shapes resemble clouds or living beings that quietly breathe and grow. Vibrant colors, rich textures, and soft silhouettes come together to create a world suspended between reality and imagination.

The figures in her works carry no explicit emotions and no fixed identities.

By leaving room for interpretation, each sculpture can be experienced differently according to one's own memories and perceptions, rather than being confined to a single meaning.

Through series such as Mass of Feeling, Flowing Mass, and Living Mass, Jung continues to explore the relationships between emotion, self, life, and existence.

For her, every action of a living being is ultimately driven by the desire to live.

Art, therefore, becomes a way of understanding life itself. Through form, color, and texture, she crystallizes intangible sensations into physical presence, allowing the energy of life and the rhythms of the world to exist in another form.
