Korean Artist Creates Transparent Sculptures To Show the Depth of Human Emotion

Korean artist Jin Young Yu creates emotional plastic sculptures that reflect both her young emotions and adult personality. To seize these feelings and characteristics, the sculptor gives her transparent figures reasonably stoic faces with many appearing to hold back a flood of tears.

“My works are about the ‘invisible people’,” she told Arrested Motion. “I wanted to talk about the stories of the people who said, ‘I don’t know them, but they knew me so well. They said they worked with me for over a year. To me, that person was a transparent existence that neither did or didn’t exist.'”
