Wire Mesh Portraits by Seung Mo Park

Korean artist Seung Mo Park creates giant portraits by cutting layers of wire mesh by hand.

These sculptural masterpieces are part of Park’s latest series, called 'Maya' (generally meaning "illusion" in Sanskrit), inspired by a dream where he met a woman, but then woke up soon afterwards in a state of confusion as to whether the dream was reality or reality was a dream.

Each work begins with a photograph which is superimposed using a projector over layers of wire mesh set a few centimeters apart, then using a subtractive technique Park slowly cuts away each little piece of the wire mesh.

Because they are made up of several layers placed within centimeters of each other, his portraits tend to be a few inches thick.
