'Fragile' by Korean artist Kim Joon is a stunning collection of digital images featuring painted body parts resembling porcelain figurines. The work of Kim Joon is carefully contrasted, with elegant floral designs on dismembered human limbs.
Using 3-D computer graphics, Kim Joon "paints" the legs, arms and torsos with patterns found in traditional fine china place settings.
This is Kim Joon’s second collection, the first being the fantastic body art photography featured on Trend Hunter. As you can see, Kim Joon conveys passion for tattooing into art forms.
