Artist Statement
Seyeon Park combines glass, ceramics, light, sound, vibration, and electronic elements to explore existential anxiety and the ways humans confront uncertainty. Her sculptural and installation-based works combine kiln-formed glass, hand-built ceramics, and electronic components such as exciters, speakers, and LEDs. By integrating traditional craft materials with electronic media, she expands the role of craft while investigating the relationship between sensory perception and psychological experience.
Park explores the tension, contradiction, and psychological resistance that emerge when humans encounter what cannot be fully understood or controlled. Rather than treating anxiety as something to overcome, she approaches it as an essential condition of human existence, using light, sound, and the potential of silence to materialize otherwise invisible psychological tension.
In her work, glass and ceramics become resonant bodies that transmit, reflect, and vibrate with light and sound. Their mechanical yet organism-like structures resist fixed interpretation, while subtle changes in light, vibration, and sound invite viewers to experience the space between presence and absence, silence and noise, stability and uncertainty.
