The Intersection of Tradition and Modernity
Based on the Maebyeong, a quintessential form of traditional Korean ceramics, I have recreated the bolt and nut—symbols of industrialization—in ceramic and integrated them into the center of the work. This goes beyond a simple fusion of past and present; it "connects" the modern onto the traditional, illustrating the process of identity being newly reconstructed. While the Maebyeong embodies the aesthetics of craftsmanship, the bolt and nut symbolize modern industrial society. As these two elements interlock to form the core, the work reveals a center of identity that remains continuously connected and redefined amidst a changing era.
