A Human, a Monkey, an Alien by Sungho Cho

I think one needs a mark to recognize one’s own existence. Jewelry has served as an identification tag since the beginning. Small and lovely objects that make a delicate difference... The difference makes a distinctness, but the truth frankly makes oneself reveal many of the features inherent in oneself.
By wearing jewelry, I become a monkey, a goblin, and an alien.
As a material, wood has a subtle charm that it once was alive. Its sleek silhouette and flat surface is suitable to conceal its nature. Only eyes, nose and mouth on it help recognize what they really are.
As jewelry, I show the monkey, the goblin, the alien inside me.
