Organic Mirror, Wooden Steam-Bent Wall Mirror by Soo Joo

Soo Joo is a Korean-American artist who works in Seoul, Korea and New York. Although she has a background in fine art, she studied Furniture Design at RISD, and her debut collection was introduced in August 2022. "At the basic core of my work is an investigation into biophilic design: how non-living, abstract art and objects can still carry the essence of nature, through material and formal language. Through my work, I develop a new visual language that serves as an alternative to geometry, from an East Asian perspective" Soo Joo is influenced by her grandmother who is a traditional Korean ink painter, who paints plants and calligraphy in sweeping brush strokes. She also uses her practice in dance to influence the gestural aesthetic of her works.
