Eugene Sohn Headshot

 

My work is about 4-years of my American life. Things that I did, people that I met, places that I’ve been, and about my emotions towards that each and every moment I’ve experienced. Focusing on color and texture of the materials I use; I am capturing the moments from my memories in the cubes. Limiting the shape and the form to a cube, I am trying to restrain the expression so that it will not overwhelm. Each cube is a different memory, and its deepness and size differs from memory by memory, but I don’t want the viewers to know the difference. Especially not by the different shapes nor by the different sizes of the cubes. It is a personal piece about my memory, so I wanted to keep it in my mind. But at the same time, I wanted to show people how much I have experienced throughout 4-years. It can be sad, lonely but also amazing at the same time. Not many people can have this opportunity to study abroad and meet new people. I wanted to keep my memories like if it was in Pandora's box which only I can open.
