Korean artist Kang Dong Hyun constructs hollow animal sculptures from a system of metallic branches.
Hyun creates animal-shaped, metal figurines that look as though they are formed from delicate tree branches and twigs.
His works often have a high concentration of these sprig-like elements constructing the animal’s face, which allow the distinguishing characteristics of his house cats, birds, bulls, and elephants to take form.
In one particular piece a lion’s full facial features are brought to life through his network of sculpted twigs, a furrowed brow projecting a look of worry or remorse.
When placed outdoors, each sculpture takes on a new life of its own as the sun hits its reflective surface.
You can see more of Kang’s interpretations of the animal kingdom at My Modern Met.

Especially because it’s all done in metal. I love the cat myself.
