“Air has always carried sound, yet we rarely perceive it as form.
I seek to shape that invisible resonance—to create sculptures
we can walk into with our ears. Sori Sculpture is a dialogue that
dissolves the boundaries between architecture and art,
between perception and presence. It invites us to listen again
—to space, to ourselves, and to the world around us.”
Artist, Member of the British Royal Society of Sculptors,
Architect, Former Vice Chairman, Korean Institute of Architects
