Abstract

Hyunjin Park's thesis show, Bones Between Air (2025), held at Tjaden Gallery in Ithaca, New York, presents her artistic practice and research on the relationships between animals and humans, life and death, grief, and feelings of displacement and longing. Through sculpture, video, installation, drawing, and photography, Park explores the boundaries of travel, migration, movement, life, and memory by focusing on the forms of living creatures like birds, dogs, and fish, as well as airplanes. These beings move across the sky, land, and water, their presence revealing both a sense of estrangement and connection and the ephemeral traces left behind during passage. In Bones Between Air, the airplane—a recurring motif throughout Park's work—transforms from a mere means of transportation into a vessel that carries memory and bridges time and space. It comes to represent the deep human longing for movement. By connecting the primordial urge to migrate with abstracted forms of animals and aircraft, the exhibition invites reflection on what movement means in an age of hyper-connectivity, where physical and digital journeys constantly intersect.
