I made a cube as a basic shape.
I tried to make shapes based on a cube because of my interest in the basic
elements of art and the effect these elements have on human's visual perception.
I believed that this kind of rational attempt to show this moment of space and
time through the basic elements would point me in the right direction.
I was also immersed in the attractiveness of Goryeo (Name of Korean Dynasty 10~14C)
Celadon. And I realized the today that is based on the past. The culture that
we know
cannot be represented in one day, as time has been stacked for a long time and
the culture contains all our surroundings and society.
Since childhood, Buddhism has been an unconscious part of my mind. Buddhism and
Buddhist temples have been a natural part of my life.
My work includes all my experiences and thinking, and I’m enjoying my life time
journey. And I always wonder what is going to be changed and happened to my work
which is from my
everyday life.
