Untamed explores the idea of an original state: where forms begin, and whether anything can return to a condition untouched by the structures and expectations that shape it. Handwoven from enamelled copper wire, the sculptures combine asymmetrical shapes, organic contours, and shifting color.

Working without preliminary sketches, Hung follows her intuition as she weaves, allowing each form to emerge through the making process. The open, translucent structures interact with their surroundings through light and shadow, giving the wire a sense of fluidity and movement.
