The bioplastic structures designed on a 3D program fix and control the bentwoods. This is an attempt to control the unpredictable and a result of visualization of what is desired. This process becomes the embodiment of incantatory actions to escape from instinctive fear of an uncertain future.

So-Myeong Lee's Prospero Series symbolize wish fulfillment and hope through primitive art motifs.

The Prospero Series by So Myeong Lee is a work that expresses human instinctive anxiety about an uncertain future and the desire to escape it, using a combination of wood bending techniques, 3D printing, and motifs from primitive art. The Latin word 'Prospero' means 'to make one's wish come true' or 'to bring success,' symbolizing hope and aspiration.

Primitive utopian furniture created through ritualistic acts to escape instinctive anxiety's climax.

The bioplastic structures designed on a 3D modeling program fix and control the bentwoods. This is an attempt to control the unpredictable and at the same time a result of visualization of what is desired. This process forms and becomes the embodiment of incantatory actions to escape from instinctive fear of an uncertain future.
