Eternally Eternal - Yellow Iris

We paint what we wish to preserve forever onto the everlasting surface of ceramics.

The Forever Eternal series is a body of ceramic paintings that capture the life force and passage of time found in Korea. It is a collection focused on native Korean species and endangered wildlife. By depicting disappearing creatures on the enduring medium of ceramics, the work cherishes their existence—recording and remembering them as an act of artistic reflection that bridges tradition, ecology, and art.

Each life form, rendered through contemporary sensibilities and ceramic painting techniques rooted in traditional Korean art, transcends time to pose questions to all living beings in the “here and now,” symbolically expressing a uniquely Korean identity.

This work goes beyond ceramic painting; it is a meditation on life and memory, nature and art, and the enduring presence of what is slowly being forgotten.
