Jin Hee Park creates works using threads and lego blocks on a wooden frame, paying attention to the materiality in common. The knotted thread seems to be woven tightly, but they are fragile and soft, so they can be easily unravelled by external stimulation. The legos, on the other hand, is a toy that children play with, and although it looks tiny and weak, it actually has a very hard and strong materiality. Through this relationship of materiality, the artist symbolically expresses the image of people living with a collective nature that is connected to each other in modern society. Between those relationships that seem tightly entangled, everyone has a “crack”, and if you look closely, you can see the scars and feelings that weren't easy to be seen from a distance.
