Drinking Straw Sculptures by Sang Sik Hong

Korean artist Sang Sik Hong created large scale installations that seem to shockingly pop out of walls made out of ordinary plastic drinking straws.



“Although every one desires power, only a few of people can have it. Power is the symbol of strength and the object for one’s wish since it accompanies many interests. Power is strong, scarce and heading toward eternity. However, the straw, contrary to the properties of power, is a weak structure, easily available to anyone for it is produced on a large scale and a disposable material.”
