The Chaekgadohwa Vase Object explores new sculptural possibilities by combining the distinctive beauty of traditional Korean ceramics with the pictorial composition of chaekgado, a genre of painting from the Joseon dynasty. Moving beyond the two-dimensional expression of chaekgado, the work transforms and reimagines the form of a celadon maebyeong through the compositional structure of the painting, giving it a three-dimensional presence as both a decorative interior object and a functional vase.
Rather than simply borrowing traditional forms, the work focuses on translating the distinctive perspective and spatial arrangement of chaekgado into a three-dimensional form. By reinterpreting the graceful curves and balanced proportions of traditional Korean ceramics through a contemporary sensibility, it presents a sculptural harmony that naturally connects past and present.
