The Flow of Energy
The Flow of Energy series reveals the raw, primal essence within. Each unit exists both as an independent entity and as part of a larger whole, much like an organism. The forms, varying in size, emit a sense of natural contraction, expansion, and upward motion, mirroring the pulsation of inner energy.
The Jiseung jewelry, distinguished by its rough textures and distinct vertical lines, showcases unique visual elements. The primitive sensation evoked by the tactile qualities and shapes of materials sourced from nature resonates with our inner being, drawing us closer to the essence of existence.
“I hope the energy radiating from these works reaches you. May the energy within me, embodied in these works, resonate with the energy within you.”
