Yeeyoung Ham
Lives and works in Seoul, South Korea
From collapse to rebirth, an eternal cycle. Yeeyoung Ham transforms shards of porcelain into bold pieces with free, eclectic, intimate forms bursting with color. Trained by Jongjin Park and based in Seoul, she draws inspiration from the chaos of urban construction sites, where cables, pipes, barriers, and rails intertwine. These elements, both intrusive and essential, come together to give rise to new constructions.
Yeeyoung Ham is fascinated by the cycle of destruction and reconstruction inherent in urban construction sites, where, in a single breath, worlds are erased, forms are broken, and new structures emerge, shaped by the hand of time.
Her works are greatly inspired by this alchemy of chaos. The artist finds beauty in fragments and sculpts an aesthetic from disorder and reinvented material. She draws from a primitive expression, seeking beyond objects frozen by habit, revealing unprecedented forms that awaken the raw imagination of those who contemplate them.
