About

Connection & Expansion

My work explores structures formed by connecting and stacking small units, based on principles found in nature and architecture. I reinterpret radial expansion in nature and vertical and horizontal expansion in human-made structures through the material qualities and techniques of glass.

I focus on how time and energy accumulate and remain as structure, showing how repetition transforms into form. Through layers and flows, the work reveals the process and value of accumulation.

자연과 건축에서 발견되는 ‘결합’과 ‘확장’의 원리를 바탕으로, 작은 유닛들을 결합·적층해 구조를 형성하는 작업을 하고있습니다. 방사형(자연)과 수직·수평(인공) 확장이라는 성장 방식을 유리의 물성과 기법을 통해 재해석하며, 결합과 확장을 새로운 시각으로 실험하고 있습니다.

시간과 에너지가 축적되어 구조로 남는 방식을 다루며, 반복이 어떻게 형태로 전환되는지를 드러냅니다. 구조의 층과 흐름을 통해 축적의 과정과 그 가치를 보여주고자 합니다.
