The Ceremony of Memory

Ancestral rites is ceremony of memory. Families come together to remember the lost beloved. The works of ceramic artist Huh Sang Wook memorialize his mother-in-law and the love she gave him. Beautiful memories blossom into small festivals. Huh remembers, and portrays her love of the camellia in the vessels, gesturing to the thriving vitality of life by refining the roughness of the Buncheong with the texture of engobe and replenishing the camellia with silver powdering.
