DO HO SUH (born 1962)
Suh’s work includes large-scale installations, sculptures, and drawings, often exploring themes of space, memory, and displacement.
His architectural fabric sculptures, like "Home Within Home" and "Seoul Home/L.A. Home/New York Home/Baltimore Home/London Home/Seattle Home," recreate personal and domestic spaces in translucent fabric.
Suh is influenced by his experiences as a Korean expatriate and the architectural traditions of Korea. The works of artists like Gordon Matta-Clark and Rachel Whiteread have also shaped his exploration of space and identity.
Suh's exploration of personal and architectural spaces has inspired artists like Sarah Sze and Rirkrit Tiravanija. His innovative use of materials and concepts of home and migration continue to influence contemporary art.

i have a theory
(largely from my own experience of life)
people who have never been to the war, have never witnessed the destruction, utter devastation, the bloodiness of it all and humiliation of powerlessness usually draw gory violent images.
people who have actually witnessed it all, draw flowers 🌺 to heal.
