About the Item

Yeonsu's art is fundamentally based on Lao zi (老子)’s minimalist idea that the more you empty, the more you can fill it and the expression ’Less is more’ by the German architect Ludwig Mies van der Rohe. “A tree bears fruit only when it abandons its flowers, and a river only reaches the sea when it abandons its course.” - Buddhāvatamsaka Sūtra (華嚴經) In her work she engages within the manipulation/transformation of situations through a sculptural approach. She creates installations and site-specific interventions that analyze how the metamorphosis produced articulates space, provoking a new relationship between the work/object and the viewer. Her work basically uses everyday objects that are hidden or covered. This manipulation introduces a defamiliarizing and somewhat uncomforting moment for the spectator’s experience of a certain space or location. By transforming the objects slightly she tries to highten the awareness of the viewer for the value and meaning of the selected object (a car, a boat, a lamp) and tries also to reshape his vision of the environment in which the piece is placed.

Take on the Sublime
By Francesca Borgo
Located in BARCELONA, ES
Through my work, I invite viewers to find themselves in the ebb and flow of these abstract landscapes. Each piece is a reminder that, just like the clouds shifting across the sky or the waves reshaping the shore, we too are constantly adapting, evolving, and finding new ways to thrive. It is an exploration of how resilience is not a rigid stance, but a fluid process—a journey that requires both the gentleness to bend with change and the energy to face it head-on. In today’s world, where the pace of life often feels as unpredictable as the weather, my art speaks to the universal experiences of growth, adaptation, and the quiet strength that lies beneath the surface of every turbulent wave. Through these pieces, I hope to create a space where viewers can see their own stories—where they can find comfort in nature’s wisdom and inspiration in its endless capacity for renewal. I deem my works are mainly influenced by modern and contemporary artists, such as Zao Wou-Ki, Zhang Daqian, Julie Mehretu, David Hammons, Wu Chi-Tsung and traditional Chinese ink art...
