The Prospero Series by So Myeong Lee is a work that expresses human instinctive anxiety about an uncertain future and the desire to escape it, using a combination of wood bending techniques, 3D printing, and motifs from primitive art. The Latin word 'Prospero' means 'to make one's wish come true' or 'to bring success,' symbolizing hope and aspiration.
