Two Buoys Two Voids, 2017, C-print mounted on di-bond
Jung is interested in planetary rhythms - the cycles of life and death. These works centre on themes of Monday and its etymology, day of the moon. Using 'Monday' and the 'moon' as motifs, her work conjures up a sense of journey and a reflection on life.
Morning Dew captures a year-long performance of collecting dew every Monday, while Two Buoys Two Voids explores the notion of loss, attempting to capture the void between the two figures.
Engaging with the environment and those around her, Yva Jung’s practice weaves together encounters, stories and places.
