DNGR:DNGR, THE COLLECTIVE ARTISTIC PRACTICE OF GINGER Q & DANIEL HYO KIM
FABRICATION: DYSON & WOMACK
Polished stainless steel, neon, and glass
Bios Morphe is a luminous, living sculpture that reimagines ancestral knowledge through steel, neon, and reflection. Rooted in the terrain of San Diego and informed by the medicinal practices of the native Kumeyaay, the work explores transformation through process, form, and place.
Native plants were digitally scanned and reinterpreted into layered forms made of mirrored steel, bent glass, and neon light, creating a material language that moves between the organic and the engineered. This synthesis of indigenous wisdom and technological innovation reflects a process-driven inquiry into interconnected futures.
Positioned between tradition and modernity, Bios Morphe inhabits a space where nature and technology can evolve in tandem.

Custom mask for Babymorocco’s shoot for Flaunt Magazine discussing his JeanPaul-era.
Created four mask designs to pitch, then moved to fabrication using a 3D scan of Babymorocco’s head for remote fitting. Mask is 3D printed in PLA, interior sponge for comfort and lift, and beads were sourced from the fashion district in DTLA. The beads were each clipped manually so they sit flush to the mask.
Short turnaround.
