SONG SooYoung

There are times when an everyday object appears to me to take the semblance of another object or entity. For instance, I might see a flock of pigeons in the graying snow on the side of a street.
The gray snow resembles the pigeon in that, although it was once a symbol of peace, the pigeon has transformed into a symbol of the city’s pollution. Thus, my work involves superimposing two objects which resemble each other, not only visually but also in terms of their socio-cultural significance. In practice, this means piling together gray snow into the semblance of pigeons.
Although the subject of my work varies, I explicate the common denominator of my work through their titles: the superimposition of images.
