He describes the act of stacking coins as a time of tiredness and hardship, yet also a source of energy and ecstasy as the sculpture gradually takes shape.
For Kim Seungwoo, each sculpture is more than just a collection of coins; it is a reflection on the concept of money itself. He aims to transcend the functional value of currency and instead explores themes of social ambition, value, and the pros and cons associated with money. Through his artwork, Kim challenges viewers to reconsider the significance of currency and its impact on society.
