With the grace of an aerial trapeze artist, an insect dangles from a fine hoop. Repulsive yet tender in its vulnerability, Skin Mite (demodex) (2024)—sewn from old pillowcases—transfigures that which disgusts into something softer and stranger, with a tangible body and visible seams. The piece is emblematic of the practice of Jungeun Park, an artist based between New York and Seoul, who synthesizes glass, ceramics, and textiles to conjure sculptures evoking raw biological forms and alien organic matter. Her 2025 graduate presentation at the Rhode Island School of Design brought together smooth, extraterrestrial shapes and recognizable bodily structures: bulbous, organ-like blobs and candy-cane-striped umbilical cords, at once unsettling and familiar.
