Sungho Bae resurrects abandoned stuffed animals into visceral, organ-like assemblages. His vibrant patchwork of salvaged toys, leather, and clay looks both alive and unsettling, urging a closer examination of the sentimental objects we outgrow. Each sculpture feels like a relic of childhood memory, flipped inside out.
The exhibition 'Apotropaia' frames these pieces as protective charms, invoking ancient rituals of warding off evil. Works like 'Dansu' pair taxidermy eyes with Korean game boards, while 'Gut' reliefs revel in ambiguity. Bae compels us to question why we discard the once-cherished, transforming waste into strangely beautiful tokens of transformation.
