Cantastic! Shows the Humble Can Turned into Elaborate Sculpture and Jewelry

Artist Eunseok Han expertly uses soda and beer cans in wildly unexpected ways, creating vibrant works of art.

Painstakingly cutting, trimming, bending and fastening, Han creates intricate, rippling designs that feel alive with possibility.

Close inspection might reveal a tidbit of a can’s logo or writing, revealing the true nature of the materials in use. We love the color choices and vibrancy of the final pieces.

    There’s no wording that states these metal fragments aren’t razor sharp!! I’d love to assume that they aren’t, but I’ve seen too many James Bond movies to do that.

    Please put that, perhaps insulting, concern to rest by addressing how it is that she “dulls” the many feet of edges in each gorgeous work of art.
