Ever since he released works featuring robots in 1999, Yongsik Park has employed images of animals cute enough to be from cartoons. These animals, placed in everyday, natural or fabricated situations, are usually familiar to us, such as dogs, ducks, horses, and mice, and the resulting compounds are diverse, including the original sculpture as well as photographs, installations and drawings. Although recent works using twigs seem to focus on connectivity rather than concrete substance or subjectivity, Park's interest in domesticated animals continues.
