ABOUT YUN 

Junghye Yun is an artist who works with sculptures, painting, and video. Yun explores the impact of the discarded plastic disposable materials upon human relations and the natural environment with political ecology. Junghye uses plastic trash - the main culprit of environmental pollution - to point to values of capitalism and materialism that inform modern society and harm the natural environment. Plastic collected by the artist are transformed and re-presented with the beauty of a new form of sculpture that has never been seen before. Junghye’s experimental working process draws on to the conflicting symbols of abandonment and recycling, danger and beauty. Junghye uses the sculpture works to create a light-based installation in which cast shadow and the light reflected in the coloured plastic sculpture.  Yun is currently studying a Master of Fine Art at RMIT University, Melbourne, Australia.
