Korean Traditional Door Patterns – Felt Book Version
2025
Description
The beauty of Korean traditional doors and windows, along with their intricate patterns, is presented in this work, inspired by my father, an Intangible Cultural Heritage in Korea.
Each traditional pattern holds its own unique meaning, and this art piece brings together a curated selection of these symbols of good fortune into one cohesive book.
In Korea, traditional doors and windows are not differentiated by structure, but by their purpose.
This concept is expressed through the two volumes of this book set: one vertically bound volume representing traditional doors, and the other horizontally bound, representing windows.
The patterns are displayed in two ways: in its complete form and in close-up detail.
Each image is laser-cut on felt and hand-bound by Jana Sim.
This book is a set of two volumes, with a limited edition of 5 copies each.
