Seong Gu Lee's 'Solaris 12' is a captivating sculpture that mesmerizes with its intricate beauty and thought-provoking composition. Crafted with a skilful blend of stainless steel and bronze, this artwork evokes a sense of wonder and invites the viewer into a realm of contemplation.


At the heart of 'Solaris 12' lies a harmonious interplay of stainless steel structures, delicately intertwined to create a sense of dynamic movement. The polished surfaces of the stainless steel reflect light and the surrounding environment, creating a play of luminosity and shadow that adds depth and dimension to the sculpture. The fluid curves and interlocking forms give the artwork a sense of organic flow, capturing a moment of graceful motion.


Amidst the stainless steel elements, meticulously crafted bronze components emerge, infusing the sculpture with warmth and tactile allure. These bronze accents, carefully positioned and rich in detail, introduce an earthy contrast to the industrial elegance of the stainless steel. The interplay between these materials symbolises the balance between the man-made and the natural, the strength and the vulnerability that coexist within the human experience.
