Sea of Forms, a solo exhibition by Rina Kim, explores the phenomenon of commodity fetishism and consumer culture that relies upon material objects to instigate and construct relationships between people. As social relations are constantly being mediated and expressed through trades and exchanges of commodities, the true use-value of things becomes obstructed and forgotten. This body of work aims to reverse the impulse for constantly pursuing material goods, and rather, direct consumers towards establishing human relations organically.
