"Within the influential waves of globalization, I focused on creating pottery that embodies my homeland, Korea. Using clay and natural materials indigenous to my country, I created pottery that represents the colors and forms of Korean culture and traditions. Contrasting the digitalized, fast paced lifestyles of today’s world, I hope to evoke the forgotten nostalgic sentiments of my country as one sits down to steal a moment of silence with a relaxing cup of tea." - Toin (Gim, Yeong-Seol)
