Untitled #15
Ash wood and copper wire sculpture
Heechan Kim, 2023

Heechan Kim was born in 1982 in Seoul, South Korea and received a BFA in metal craft from Seoul National University in 2006. Kim’s works explore the human desire that wants to keep one’s individuality and, at the same time, wish to be in a community or group. His methodology, which is mainly stitching thin strips with metal wire, represents his belief that everyone is connected, bounded, and destined to live together against their will. Kim was awarded the Artist of the Collect 2024 Fair for this piece.
