Overview

Still Object: From ‘Baekja’ (Korean White Porcelain) explores a new sculptural language inspired by the forms of traditional Korean white porcelain. The proportions, balance, and inherent sense of void in Baekja do not emphasize form through excess; instead, they allow objects to exist in a restrained state, revealing their essential structure with profound clarity.

Approach

As the materiality of glass merges with the sculptural concepts of porcelain, form is perceived not as a fixed outcome, but as a continuously shifting condition. Transparency, density, and subtle surface variations create layered relationships within light and space, allowing the objects to emerge not as singular meanings, but as presences defined through relation and perception.

Challenge

Rather than delivering a specific narrative or symbolism, the work proposes a state of lingering within the act of seeing itself. Through restrained forms and delicate balance, viewers are invited not to interpret the object, but to immerse themselves in the sensory process of perceiving it.

Outcome

Ultimately, this series reconsiders the essence and mode of existence of objects through the aesthetic language of Baekja, expanding traditional forms into a contemporary sensibility.
