Artist Yoon Jeong-won has made various types of doll’s clothing with many different colors and designs, using the great number of materials she has collected from Dongdaemun Market. She had dressed Barbie dolls with these clothes, and then used the dolls to create a sparkling chandelier. At a glance, the work looks like a satire of gaudy decoration, but by connecting the artist’s saying that “the best extravagance an artist could ever have is to live life doing whatever he or she wants to do every day,” we can say that colors symbolize pleasure, or the heart’s desire.
