In Launcher, Jaehun Park explores the aesthetics of control. The sculpture appears as a fragment from a future military ecosystem: a module, a weapon interface, a link between human and machine. Crafted from Engineered Polymer and finished with surgical precision, the work evokes images of industrial skin, aerodynamic forms, and hidden functions.
The object is closed, yet taut. The geometric lines and smooth surface suggest a purposeful technology – something poised to activate, direct, or release. As the title implies, Launcher is not an endpoint but a starting mechanism.
Park plays with design languages drawn from the military, science fiction, and interface design. He presents us with a form devoid of explanation, an object without a narrative – and it is precisely this absence that gives rise to meaning. Launcher is sculpture as a field of tension: between function and fiction, between control and surrender.
