Jungeun Park, an artist based between New York and Seoul, creates sculptures that blend glass, ceramics, and textiles to evoke raw biological forms and alien organic matter. Her 2025 graduate presentation at the Rhode Island School of Design featured works like *Skin Mite (demodex)* (2024), sewn from old pillowcases, and *Period Chalice* (2024), made from resin, metal chain, metal ring, water, and strawberry syrup, which transform the repulsive into something tender and strange.
This profile matters because it highlights an emerging artist whose practice synthesizes craft materials with unsettling yet familiar bodily imagery, reflecting a broader trend in contemporary sculpture that explores the intersection of the organic and the synthetic. Park's work, featured in ArtAsiaPacific's "New Currents" series, signals her rising visibility in the international art scene and the continued relevance of material experimentation in addressing themes of vulnerability and transformation.
