Reflection

What does it mean to truly observe – yourself, events, life itself?
The exhibition Reflection brings together five artists, each offering a personal perspective on what was, what is, and what could be. Here, reflection goes beyond a mirror image; it becomes an inner movement, a search, a moment of stillness—or even confrontation.

Some works give space to memories and personal stories, while others echo universal themes such as transience, growth, and identity. What connects them all is their ability to engage in dialogue— with the viewer, with the moment, and with life itself.

The works in this exhibition invite you to reflect.
Are you willing to truly observe, to slow down, and to pause?
Are you open to the memories and stories that might reflect a part of yourself within these pieces?

The Vessels of Remembrance
Stoneware

The traces of the Unseen
Ink on stone paper

Rituals offer a quiet, gentle pause in our busy lives — a moment to come together, to remember, and to simply breathe.

The Vessel of Remembrance is inspired by Korean ancestral rituals, where everyday objects like vessels become part of prayer. White and black glazes, shiny and matte textures, high pedestals, and a duck-shaped vessel — each element reflects the balance between life and death, and the lasting connection we hold through memory.

In The Traces of the Unseen, ink brushstrokes follow the shapes of breath and smoke, hinting at the quiet presence of those no longer visible. Painted on stone paper, which doesn’t absorb ink easily, the work speaks to how memory and emotion can be hard to hold onto — and how difficult it can be to express what’s just out of reach.

Together, these works create a space for reflection — to honor what has passed, and to find peace in the present. Working with ancient materials like clay and ink helps me feel grounded — connected to the earth, to tradition, and to my inner self.
They remind us that remembering can root us — allowing care and imagination to grow into the future.
