Inspired by the organic asymmetry and natural balance of Korean Hanok, I reinterpret these qualities through contemporary ceramics.
Flowing lines and restrained forms explore the balance between function and form, while subtle variations shaped by hand become the unique character of each piece.
I create functional objects designed to enrich everyday life and living spaces over time.

The alternating arrangement of roof tiles and stones in the walls of a traditional Korean hanok creates a rhythmic dialogue between order and irregularity.
Their restrained black-and-white contrast embodies a quiet, understated beauty.
This visual language is reinterpreted in the square bowl.
Raised inlay on the exterior evokes the rhythm of the stone wall, while raised lines coated with white slip on the interior introduce depth and visual tension.
Handles attached after firing complete the work, balancing practical function with sculptural expression.

The Grid Pasta Bowl reinterprets the rhythmic geometry found in the stone walls and wooden lattice of traditional Hanok architecture. Hand-drawn grid lines and restrained blocks of color create a quiet sense of order while preserving the warmth and individuality of handmade ceramics.
Its gently irregular form complements the structured pattern, making it both a functional vessel and a sculptural object for
the table.

Inspired by the organic beauty of Hanok architecture, which embraces nature as it is, the Flow Pasta Bowl preserves the natural movement of clay through its soft, asymmetrical silhouette.
Rather than forcing perfect symmetry, each piece follows the spontaneous flow created by the making process, revealing the warmth of the maker’s hand.
Designed for pasta, salads, or shared dishes, it balances sculptural presence with everyday functionality.

Each bowl begins with the same form, yet no two emerge alike.
During firing, the clay responds to heat and gravity, gradually discovering its own shape beyond the maker’s intention.
The final form is completed through the quiet collaboration of clay, fire, and time, giving each piece a unique presence.
As long as it fulfills its purpose as a vessel, these natural variations are embraced as an expression of its authentic beauty.

Inspired by the lattice windows of traditional Hanok, Grid Cup reinterprets the quiet beauty of hanji, the handmade paper that gently filters light and air while insulating the interior.
The hand-drawn grid recalls the rhythm of the wooden lattice, and the small black and green squares symbolize glimpses of trees and the night sky seen through tiny tears in the paper.
More than a decorative pattern, these details capture the warmth, memory, and quiet poetry of everyday life in a Hanok.
