Original artwork description:

Porcelain on wood panel

In Korean culture, the moon is a beacon of hope and wish.
Blue Moon is a very rare moon. It is very difficult for people to achieve their wishes and goals, like seeing a blue moon.
There is a phrase, "once in a blue moon", which underlines this. In the process, many people can become tired, struggle, and live a hard life.
I hope that the journey will be a peaceful and happy process.
I hope that the process of fulfilling ones's wish is peaceful and joyful. And, I want everyone to make a wish and achieve it, as easily as everyone can see the moon.
I aim to provide solace to those that need it from their tiring and difficult lives through my works. I hope my works can brighten and instill joy to my audience.

The work has many different topographical features and is visually striking.
"Blue Moon" is comprised of about 8,000 handmade pigs. Each pig figurine measures 0.5" x 1" x 0.5".
All of the pigs are made out of porcelain.
Each pig is handmade. A mold was not used because the creation of each piggy is a meditative practice for me.
I create imagery and objects that speak to both our uniqueness and anonymity.

I created this work with a focus on exploring elements of our natural surrounding environment. This is my newest work in 2019.
