3;Do ho suh "floor"

Do-Ho Suh was born in Seoul, Korea, in 1962. After earning his BFA and MFA in Oriental Painting from Seoul National University, and fulfilling his term of mandatory service in the South Korean military, Suh relocated to the United States to continue his studies at the Rhode Island School of Design and Yale University.A contemporary korean artist his work comes from his cultural heritage his veiws on korea today and society in genral ,his work is diverse , he plays with the size and site of his pieces ,His work is dynamic in its colour veiw and position 
My favorite piece of his work while i enjoy all of his work recent and old is his piece exhibited at the international art fair may the 10th 2010."floor" a piece on which you can stand its a floor of glass held up by hundereds of little plastic people while it seems harmless and looks good and eye catchingly coloufull what i think he is questioning is todays society whether we can be individual in a world so overpopulated is it even possible or are we almost like a machine in which every part contributes to hold up society and this is what i think his pieces say by thousands of small singular pieces joined and connected to make one statement about individuality and identity , you cant deny it once you understand the concept you dwell on it for days this is why suh is third on my list
