Her work intends to capture the moment of reaction between the materials while she imagines the world beyond topography. The series of work including ‘Submarine’ was inspired by the common knowledge that oil does not mix with water. Wax creates the initial form during the interaction with water. She controls the overall shape, but each form comes out different, depending on various factors. The different thickness of wax creates colour depth when it is cast in glass.

THE BOTTLE SERIES

“Bottle” is inspired by Korea’s traditional ceramics such as the moon jar. Korea’s tradition and modern art material glass are combined to preserve and protect Korea’s presence in the world. Korea’s traditional painting “sip-jang-saeng-do”, which features ten different longevity creatures inspired the artist. She drew following the traditional style of Korean drawings and applied onto the glass.

On the inner surface, a sanded effect is made. It makes not only a white background for the drawings but it also makes the drawing hidden depending on the viewer’s angle. The drawings are in between the glass so it cannot be touched either outside not inside surface of the glass.
