‘Public Figures’

2024

The front entrance of the National Museum of Asian Art, featuring a large white structure on a green lawn, with red banners on each side reading 'National Museum of Asian Art.' The building has elaborate stone archways and the words 'Freer Gallery of Art' inscribed above.

Commissioned by artist @dohosuhstudio on his sculpture for the Smithsonian’s National Museum of Asian Art,
Washington DC. This plinth is made from jesmonite, aluminium and polyester resin, and the monument inverts the typical memorial statue, instead placing dozens of small figures underneath to hold the empty pedestal up.
