Meet Starfy, a starfish with amnesia and a restless urge to look skyward. For Korean artist Lee Yeonwoo, this lost little creature isn’t just a toy – it’s a mirror. Starfy Universe, his first solo show, transforms the character into paintings and hand-painted sculptures that double as fragments of autobiography. The story goes like this: Starfy wakes beneath the night sky, unsure of who they are, but convinced those distant lights might hold the answer. From there begins a cosmic wander, shape-shifting to survive whatever world comes next. It’s whimsical, yes, but also quietly profound. Every piece folds back onto Lee himself, tracing resilience, longing and the strange comfort of reinvention. Think less cartoon mascot, more alter ego navigating the chaos of memory and identity.
Until October 5. Free. Trendy Gallery, River City Bangkok, 10am-7pm
