about the Artist
“Yeomim”—a term describing the act of closing or overlapping, such as drawing
together the edges of a garment or the meeting of two window panels—serves as
the conceptual motif of this work. Infused with traditional Korean imagery,
the piece highlights soft, graceful curves. The artist introduces natural lines
along the vessel’s rim and overlapping surfaces, expanding the sculptural
expression of yeomim. By evoking the collar of a jeogori(traditional Korean
jacket) or the layered folds of hanbok, the work emphasizes the refined elegance
inherent in Korean tradition.
