“My Moon Jar represents a the container of the mind — nurturing and filling one’s inner strength — and carrying the meaning of the heart, i.e. the source of life energy. As an active subject generating new energy, it never ceases to transform.”
— Kim Kyung Hee
An atlas is a silent narrative of human movement.
Lines of borders, roads, and rivers become traces of time.
Within the gentle curve of the Moon Jar,
these maps are no longer documents of geography but landscapes of memory.
The vessel holds the spirit of cities — their hopes, crossings, and invisible stories.
In Luxembourg, where histories converge and cultures coexist, the Moon Jar becomes a symbol of quiet harmony. It gathers distant places into a single, luminous form, bridging past and present, East and West.
This work invites viewers to rediscover their own inner atlas —
a map drawn by experience, emotion, and the passage of life.

Trained in metal crafts and jewellery design at Seoul National University of Science and Technology and Kookmin University (MFA, 2005), she has exhibited widely across Korea and internationally since 2013, with works held in public and institutional collections including the Gyeonggi Province Museum and Amore Pacific.
