Artist Rachel Youn is transforming the landscape of the wellness industry by reclaiming discarded therapeutic devices and repurposing them into haunting, kinetic sculptures. These installations, which feature vibrating massage guns and motorized health gear, offer a biting critique of the modern obsession with self-optimization and the rapid disposability of domestic consumer goods.
