Jaiik LeeStill In Flux

I have explored the evolution of life through the language of metal art. The

material of metal is hard and cold, but I believe I can express the beauty of

vitality and the rhythm of feelings in it. My work is an attempt to capture

the nature of living things that continue to transform themselves and adapt

to their surroundings for survival, and an intuitive response to the change of

sensations I experience and the social flow I witness.

What I want to grab is not perfect forms of living things, but a state before

their perfection – their movement in a fleeting moment when they struggle

to go towards a new phase, when they are crouching or inflating their bodies

to protect themselves from the outside world. Irregular curves, uneven

surface, and tightness of joints all are responses of life to survive the stress

and harshness of the outside environment, and are elements of my metal

sculpture.
