Arbre, 2024

Youngmi Kim - sculptrice  

The lush plant material depicted evokes the symbiosis between nature and human beings. The long yellow and green strands seem to blend harmoniously into an environment of leaves and vegetation, symbolizing fertility and growth. The bold choice of bright colors creates a vibrant scene that immediately captures the eye. The varied textures, combined with a skillful play of light, add depth and tactile dimension. The posture of the figure, both majestic and serene, invites reflection on our connection to nature. The inventive use of materials gives the work an organic and mystical feel, transforming the sculpture into a poetic tribute to biodiversity and harmony with the natural environment.

““Arbre" embodies life, eternal energy and a deep connection with the earth. This work draws its inspiration from the infinite cycle of nature, symbolized by woven threads and beads evoking roots, branches and foliage. The green and gold tones reflect the richness and vitality of the earth, as well as the light that nourishes life. Through a play of textures and materials, I seek to translate the constant flow of energy that circulates between the earth and the sky. This piece invites us to meditate on the power and harmony of nature, recalling the interconnection between all forms of life."
