My work builds a contemporary visual language upon the materials and aesthetics of traditional Korean crafts: hanji (Korean paper), mother-of-pearl, and the form of celadon. I explore contrasting concepts such as tradition and modernity, East and West, light and darkness—not as points of conflict, but as elements to be harmonized and fused into a new aesthetic.
​
Traditionally used by royalty and the aristocracy, celadon was once considered the pinnacle of luxury and craftsmanship. In this exhibition, I reinterpret its refined beauty—rooted in rarity, artisanal excellence, and a deep sense of time—through a contemporary lens. Drawing from the graceful curves and depth of glaze found in celadon, I integrate natural motifs and the reflective flow of light captured in mother-of-pearl to suggest a dialogue between past and present, craft and contemporary art.
