Jogakbo(Patchwork) Front Door Blind

Artist Statement
I live in a small apartment with corridor access, and I like to keep my front door open. When the door is open, I feel the ambience outside my house and the weather of the day more closely. The sense of the openness brought by an open door differs from that brought by an open window. However, I need to install a screen door to keep out the flying insects.
As a test product, I installed a ready-made screen door, but the product did not seem to be in harmony with the scenery inside and outside of my house, but it did keep the insects out. So, I began thinking hard about making a screen of a sensitive design rather than the image of a typical screen door, and inspiration came from a traditional door screen used during the Joseon period. I decided to adapt the traditional image to the modern lifestyle.
I tried very hard to design a door screen that was practical and convenient enough that it could be used by anyone. To be sure, I also considered price and ease of production. Instead of attaching Velcro tape to the sides of the door, I fixed a wooden beam on the top of the door to create a natural look of a screen hanging. Made of organza, which is used for linings of hanbok (traditional Korean clothes), I applied a jogakbo pattern to impart a feeling of being neat without being light. Organza is material that allows sunlight and breezes to pass through, and the color is not extravagant. It is never overdone regardless of wherever I put this screen in a house. I attached a magnet at the middle so that people can come in and out without any inconvenience.
