He welds each chain in what becomes a long and intense process lasting months.  And while bicycle chains might be seen as a representation of the freedom a bicycle affords, Seo Young Deok's sculptures seem heavy, damaged and oppressed.His latest solo-exhibition, Dystopia, is currently travelling the world.  View more of his pieces at youngdeok.com. [spotted by Dani B]
