The sculptures incorporate dynamic lighting and technologically cutting edge fabrication techniques to make statements about light and darkness in life. For the [series of sculptures](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/miror-collection), Se Yoon Park uses a plethora of materials, including wood, steel, and polyurethane for the structure and [ceramic and polyamide for the lighting](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mios). The materials are all shaped and combined through the use of digital fabrication, a technique that Se Yoon Park learned in his years as an architect. During that time, Park worked for firms that include OMA, BIG, FR-EE, and REX -- some of the juggernauts of the industry. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 6.0/10 - Popularity: 88% | Activity: 84% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Art & Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/artdesign) > [Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/design) ## Key Themes ### Key Themes Behind This Trend - **Digital Fabrication Art:** The use of digital fabrication techniques to create aesthetically pleasing art pieces incorporating lighting - **Dynamic Lighting Sculptures:** Sculptures that incorporate lighting technology to make statements about light and darkness in life - **Sustainable Art Sculptures:** Art sculptures with environmentally friendly materials ### Where This Applies - **Art and Design Industry:** The use of digital fabrication techniques and lighting technology to create sustainable and artistic sculptures - **Architecture Industry:** Utilizing technology in creating buildings and permanent structures - **Lighting Industry:** Creating decorative lighting sculptures using cutting-edge lighting technology ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Math-Driven Lighting Sculptures](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/alba-light.md) - [Sculptural Wooden Lamps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/arc-lamp.md) - [Serene Wooden Dynamic Lamps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sleepy-wood.md) - [Intricate Lighting Sculptures](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/objects-of-common-interest1.md) - [Lightning-Inspired Artful Exhibitions](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bright-light-shining.md) - [Sculptural Biomaterial Lights](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/wevolve-labs.md) - [Ultra-Chic Sculptural Lighting Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sculptural-lighting-design.md) - [Volcanic-Themed Light Sculptures](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/stone-archive.md) - [Sculptural Multi-Material Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/articlier.md)
