EXHIBITION DESIGN

iwi[아·위] 

Ha Soomin (Grove) draws inspiration from the Korean tradition of stone towers, where individual wishes gather to form a single shape.


Her work reinterprets this act through small objects, giving form to accumulated intentions and positive energy.


The 'iwi' series carries the meanings of 'i + we' and 'i wish,' reflecting a structure in which individual and collective wishes build upon one another.


Overview

iwi is an object of fortune that embodies the accumulation of positive intentions expanding into a gentle flow of energy.


The artist seeks to give form to invisible emotional currents, with iwi functioning as a medium that visualizes the quiet accumulation of these sentiments.



Approach

Once placed within a space, the object creates a subtle atmosphere that resonates with both the user and the surrounding environment. Rather than symbolizing luck as decoration or as a fixed outcome, iwi suggests a continuous state of positive energy and emotional balance.


Challenge

The “fortune” envisioned through the work is not defined by temporary achievement, but by a sense of calmness, stability, and the natural rhythm of everyday life. iwi proposes an object through which these sensations may be experienced in daily life, where personal wishes and the atmosphere of a space gradually converge.



Outcome

An object of fortune where accumulated positive intentions transform into a flow of good energy.
