South Korean artist Myeongbeom Kim’s work — which we just spotted over on My Modern Met — is all about breathing life into inanimate objects by juxtaposing man-made elements with nature. The end result: a surreal world where light bulbs are converted into goldfish bowls and floating trees are covered in bright red balloon foliage. In other words, she has the kind of aesthetic that we imagine Tim Burton would heartily approve of. Click through to take a look at some of our favorite pieces.

Very cool. The ones that moved me in a deeper way are:the boat and oak tree-immigration and the intstallation of leaves…the ballons with noose was thought provoking…even the shadow of the noose..it wasn’t just a rope as the captions indicated. I loved the deer with tree antlers and the light bulb goldfish bowl and the one legged chair with balloons but it was the first two that moved me.
