Earlier projects and competition entries. Different in direction from the current work, they are the trial and error it grew out of.
이전 프로젝트와 공모전 출품작. 지금의 작업과는 결이 다르지만, 그 바탕이 된 시행착오의 기록이다.
YEKKI (Yechan Choi, b. 1995) is an artist based in Seoul who makes furniture and lighting. The work explores the many viewpoints an object can hold, giving form to ways of seeing that cannot be experienced in reality.
YEKKI(최예찬, 1995년생)는 서울에서 가구와 조명을 만드는 작가다. 사물이 가진 다양한 시점을 탐색하고, 현실에서는 경험할 수 없는 시각적 감각을 조형으로 구현하고자 한다.
