BEKI SONG


I am a small god of this world. (This is not blasphemy.)

My work explores the concept of love, but love is never simple. I am drawn to infinite and unconditional love, yet from its deepest abyss emerge its opposites—absence, distortion, and darkness.

Like the story of The Prodigal Son, I investigate the paradox of unconditional love. Why does a protector love their child as they are? Why do we embrace imperfection? My work delves into the relationship between creator and creation, protector and beloved, questioning the very nature of love.

Through this exploration, I create sculptures I call wild babies. They are distorted yet full of life. They have eyes and mouths, but they may evoke discomfort in the viewer. My wild babies embody my raw emotions, untamed curiosity, and uncontrollable inner self. I sculpt them using materials such as clay, plaster, synthetic wigs, and artificial plants, infusing them with personality and presence.

The creation of these beings is inspired by the story Where the Wild Things Are. In the book, Max’s wild things represent his unruly, uncontrollable inner nature, but in the end, he leaves them behind to return to the love of his mother. My wild babies, however, continue to ask questions: Does perfect love exist? In what forms does love manifest?

I also create the worlds in which they dwell. Through sculpted environments and paintings, I construct spaces where they can fully exist. The world may see them as strange or unfamiliar, but I cherish every part of them. Love is not always beautiful or comforting—it can be imperfect, chaotic, and even unsettling. My sculptures give physical form to these questions.

In this way, I create my own universe.
And within it, I exist as a small god.
