Coesistence - Torso gaddi by Park Seungwan Sculpture

My name is Park Seungwan, a Korean sculptor based in Italy. I was born in Korea, a nation where, despite the same language being spoken, the war never ended officially and the Korean military dividing line was only symbolized by a line drawn on a geographical map. Division is a matter that affects everyone regardless of geography, however, every time yesterday becomes today and today becomes tomorrow through the midnight confines, I, you, us, them, religion and religion, thought and thought, we draw a boundary line according to a partial world view. Eternity does not exist anywhere yet we continue to seek it in a god that we created, excluding everything that does not agree with us. But in the end when we find ourselves facing death we realize our weak and ephemeral existence. "In the struggle between the old and the new, the past is extinguished and only the present exists," said Josef Stalin. My work is to make past and present coexist.
