Emily Yeonsoo Jung

Cyclical systems metabolise material and immaterial residue through processes of release and transformation. Drawing from architectures of ritual and the structures of memory, I construct systems that concede to the weight of absence while resisting fixation: holding and transforming residue.

Employing rice water, glass, pewter, steel, and other mutable substances, I create breathing structures that filter and disperse materials across thresholds. In doing so, I seek to materialise in-between spaces: bridging the material and immaterial, absence and presence, and enabling cyclical structures that flow and adapt like water, circulating and releasing.
