Alum’s show explores the psychology of flight or fight

Seongmin Yoo, Pulses of Experience, 2026, mixed media installation at the William Thonson Gallery, Morris Graves Museum of Art

Alum Seongmin Yoo’s (MFA ‘ 24) newest exhibition show “Seongmin Yoo: Pulses of Experience” explores the intense physiological moment of attentive immobility, a reaction that premeditates a fight or flight response. Pulses of Experience functions as a metaphor for contemporary life. Many people exist in an attentive immobility state and the consistent tensions between movement and the absolute stillness that is emblematic of this physiological state. Yoo’s work examines this condition and searches for “the boundaries of self… determining where personhood and identity begin and end, asking fundamental questions about belonging and purpose.”

On view May 2-June 21 at the Morris Graves Museum of Art in Eureka
