Very small pieces of pottery often fail to become cultural heritages no matter how old they are. The author thought that the Western and materialistic dichotomy, which sees broken pottery as a piece of miscarriage, was ephemeral. Therefore, he tried to call on the true meaning of "renewal" through this. Environmentalism, which is popular as a mandatory alternative, has only translated regeneration as recycle, but what he calls re-bone is more like a "reincarnation." By giving the symbolic meaning of a circular shape that transcends through repetition and direct technique, the purpose was to show infinite vitality and repeatability of life. The fragments thrown away to others may be insignificant figures, but the fragments abandoned to him are not the end of life but a prerequisite for a new birth and a start. His work, which is based on the shape of an infinite circle, is uniformly saying that one is the whole.
