” I use specific buncheong techniques that after I make a pattern on a jar repeatedly or irregularly and then fill it with slip.

They are intended to artistically express the nature’s order by filling the whole jar with sealing the patterns of vital power embedded in the nature in good orders.

Most of my favorite patterns are flowers and grass. I would like to give a feeling of pureness and sanctity to those who see through my works decorated with beautiful flowers. But mor fundamentally, it focuses on human nature desiring for the pure beauty of nature. “
