Trickle is a work that explores stasis, vitality, and the latent potential held within. It begins with the idea that many beings carve out their own paths and shape their own ways of living, yet at some point can become trapped in repetition, turning stagnant and rigid, and gradually losing their original sensibility or sense of identity. This work focuses on that state of suspension. The main body, reminiscent of an organism with a black-and-white gradient, symbolizes a being that once possessed organic vitality but at some point stopped and hardened. Its dark outer skin suggests a frozen, immobilized time, while the soft and vivid elements rising through the gaps reveal the life force that still remains inside, along with the possibilities yet to come.

The work is made by creating soft, elastic, cell-like pieces one by one and connecting them by hand to build an asymmetric, organic body. Because each piece stretches and links flexibly, the overall form does not repeat uniformly, but instead takes on an imbalance and movement that feels almost alive. The surface of this body is then covered using electrostatic flocking to create a matte skin-like layer. This surface evokes dust settling on an object left untouched for a long time, or a sedimented outer shell formed by the passage of time, obscuring its original vitality while also making its hardened state visible.

Between these surfaces, twisted soft fiber elements are inserted to create a contrast between the rigid, monochrome body and the vivid color and flexible tactility of the emerging forms. Through this process, the work invites viewers to reconsider the vitality and possibility that persist within states that appear fixed or motionless, and ultimately to reflect on their own senses and latent potential.
