Kumja Moon -
The legend of Kumja Moon is intricately woven into the fabric of Korean culture and history. During the Goryeo Dynasty (918-1392), the moon was often depicted in art and literature as a symbol of eternal beauty and the transient nature of human life. Poets and scholars of the time frequently referenced the Kumja Moon in their works, using it as a metaphor for longing, love, and the impermanence of earthly pleasures.
In the last decade, Kumja Moon has expanded into sculptural installation. Her "Floating Kiln" series (2020-2024) deconstructs the vessel entirely. She creates thin, wafer-like slabs of clay that curl like scrolls of paper, partially glazed. These pieces hang on walls, looking like frozen sheets of jade-colored water.
She has also collaborated with metalworkers to create gyecheop (ceremonial boxes) where bronze lids meet celadon bodies—a nod to the bronze vessels of the Silla Kingdom. kumja moon
