Transposition — Hosu Lee

Date: 2022
Place: Chungdo, South Korea
Medium: hardwood floor fragments and dust
Size: 7 x 11 x 5 cm

This small, totem-like sculpture was created using fragments and dust from a hardwood floor—materials collected by Mona, the dog I raised in New York. Though we are now physically apart, this piece still holds the scent, traces, and quiet memories of our first home together. It becomes a vessel of presence and absence, a tactile archive of shared time, intimacy, and loss.
