"Transcending Radiance Across Space and Time" originates from the profound impact I felt when encountering a cream-colored marble sculpture during my student days. The vividness and power of that sculpture created a sense of presence as if it were alive, leaving a lasting impression on my heart. Through this experience, I resolved to create sculptures that could move people's hearts across different eras.
Next, I discovered ceramics as a material that could endure and preserve the artwork for future generations. Ceramics not only possess durability that can last thousands of years but also proved to be suitable for conveying the message I wanted to express. The essence of my sculpture is the belief that the scars born from the journey of life are the evidence of beauty and strength that radiates brightly.

To pursue vividness, I chose the "press mold technique," directly applying plaster to a living person and molding it with clay. Additionally, I selected "translucent penetrating glaze," which develops deeper cracks on the surface as it ages, providing a sense of depth.
In selecting subjects, I avoided basing it on achievements or appearance, focusing instead on capturing the essence of people I encounter in my daily life. I am not a sculptor who creates statues of great individuals or nobility; rather, I emphasize the essence of life and the challenges faced by humanity. I believe that the fact that every person and every living being constantly lives in close proximity to death is what makes life in this universe so awe-inspiring.
I firmly believe that everyone can become a subject of sculpture simply by virtue of "living in the present." I aspire to preserve the people around me in their unadorned form, akin to the depiction of an elderly woman in Hellenistic sculpture.
"Transcending Radiance Across Space and Time" represents the luminosity of my sculpture that can be conveyed from the past to the future.
