The City of Arts and Sciences in Valencia, Spain, is the largest complex for culture and science in Europe. It is a space that invites contemplation on the mysteries of the vast universe and the beauty of human creativity.

Amidst these striking structures, the works of sculptor Park Eun-sun have taken their place.

They blend in as if they had been there all along.

[Miriam Atienza / Content Director, City of Arts and Sciences: We wanted to fuse art and science into one, and Park Eun-sun's sculptures embody this concept remarkably well.]

[Park Eun-sun / Artist: The most important thing is that because the material itself is nature, I think it fits into any location without feeling out of place.]

Marble columns extending from the water symbolize the growth and evolution of living organisms, encouraging viewers to look toward the future.

[Kosme de Barañano / Professor of Museology, Miguel Hernández University: While Park Eun-sun erects magnificent stone pillars, he also creates intimate sculptures that deeply appeal to the human heart and emotions. That is what can be called the essence of art.]

Through the arrangement and repetition of columns, the works seek both tension and harmony, while the fissures torn into the surfaces of the solid stone convey messages of healing and reconciliation.

[Park Eun-sun / Artist: If you watch them throughout the day, there is a lot of light, so there is an effect where the works look different from morning until evening. As people experience the heavy, massive feel of the marble, I think this place will allow everyone to receive their own unique inspiration.]

Creating a dynamic contrast with the surreal, curved architecture, the sculptures silently testify to how the nature of the natural world and human aspirations can coexist.
