The Headmaster Ritual
Mirror, wig, silicone, hair, bubble gum, pen on paper, glue, molding paste, plastic, resin, bottle cap, acrylic medium,
printed canvas, plastic on wood panel,
36'' x 48'', 2024
A pale blue, skull-like figure stretches across the upper half of the panel, surrounded by hair, mouths, small drawings, sticky objects, and distorted faces. Nothing in the image feels settled; every part seems to pull the viewer toward another story. The work gives mind-body pressure a physical form, as if thought, memory, and sensation are all pushing through the same damaged surface. Its many materials make overwhelm feel touchable: soft hair, hard plastic, pasted fragments, and painted bodies all compete for attention. Yet the chaos is not random. It shows how a person can be shaped by pressures they did not choose and cannot fully manage. Hyunjun uses this crowded, grotesque world to make loss of control visible as both mental strain and bodily distortion.
It is the same problem seen from another side: the mind and the body are both overwhelmed by stories and pressure they cannot control.
