Folds and wrinkles are clearly motifs that cover all of Eun Yeoung LEE's work presented in this exhibition. Although these works are relatively small in size, they all bear witness to an incident in which a strong force was encountered through large and small folds and wrinkles. In particular, due to the characteristics of the material of the works― ceramic(soil), it is possible to estimate fairly accurately the direction and magnitude of force received.
What's a little more interesting is the details of the wrinkles. There are countless more wrinkles between wrinkles, and the closer we look, the more we can see that they are not simply folds and wrinkles but bursts, cracks, and tears. By mixing unique materials and pigments into the clay, the artist made the details of the wrinkles more visible, allowing our eyes to better reach those details. But perhaps the more important point is that inside the wrinkles, there is a part that is completely folded, and our eyes cannot reach it at all. What if there was something there? Fold 3, placed at the entrance of the exhibition, proves that this idea is not an excessive leap forward. Although it is not visible, there is definitely a yellow heart drawn on the inside between the thick wrinkles.
Likewise, folds and wrinkles are ultimately revealed as a metonym for things that have disappeared, things that are hidden, and things that have been forgotten. At the same time, it is also a matter of metaphorically revealing that it is not something that does not exist but has disappeared and been forgotten. This may be the point that the exhibition's title, "Dust", refers to. A place where insignificant, vulnerable, hidden and forgotten things exist. If the wrinkles there are revealed, they may be regained, and even if the integrity has been lost, more meaning and new narratives may be created. Like Fold 1, it may be possible to transcend space and time. The topology of forgotten things works as such.
