Description

Encountering thick morning mist during his travels, Son was reminded of his own emotions, shaped by uncertainties about the future and the complexities of human relationships. For him, mist became a vital metaphor for unseen boundaries, the interplay between presence and absence, and the lingering possibility of dialogue.

Utilizing the texture and semi-transparency of hanji, Son blends it with synthetic resin to create objects and furniture that embody both solidity and fluidity. In this process, hanji captures traces of emotions—once unfamiliar and ambiguous—as if they have been solidified over time.

Son’s work is not merely a reproduction of natural scenery; it is an exploration of emotional currents, relational dynamics, and inner landscapes. Through his craft, he translates the uncertainty and beauty of mist, along with the layered emotions it evokes, offering a quiet reflection on the emotional landscapes of contemporary life.

A single flower can be placed through a slender glass tube. The interplay with light brings out shifting depths and nuances in the work.

All works are handmade, and both size and color can be customized upon request.
