CN GALLERY — JONGNO, SEOUL (2026)

CYRCON Sand
2026
Painted plastic, hand-applied sand
30 × 20 × 13 cm

The sculpture Cyrcon SAND forms the foundation of the RUST ENGINE series. It is made entirely of sand, symbolizing nature and time.

CYRCON RUST ENGINE I Sand/Copper
2026
Painted plastic, hand-applied sand
30 × 20 × 13 cm
Edition of 8

Cyrcon RUST ENGINE I reveals technology beneath its sandy surface, but only subtly. It symbolizes a period when people used technology to a much lesser extent than they do today.

CYRCON RUST ENGINE II Sand/Copper
2026
Painted plastic, hand-applied sand
31.5 × 20 × 13 cm
Edition of 8

Cyrcon RUST ENGINE II symbolizes the present. The strict line in the middle represents the current moment and people’s conscious effort to separate themselves from technology at certain times. At the same time, it also reflects human dependence on it.
