"I aimed to express the universal shape of a house while creating a functional object. This wine bucket features a roof-shaped lid, with a side opening that allows a bottle to be placed at an angle, resembling a chimney. In Korean culture, chimneys hold symbolic meaning, representing a passage for blessings and a space where myths and ancestral rites intertwine. Often described as a meeting place for humans, animals, and mysterious beings, the chimney becomes a —a conduit for invisible power. I hope this piece serves as a channel, connecting people through the shared experience of wine and conversation."

Yeo Dong Yun is a visionary metal artist whose work delicately balances form, color, and motion. Drawing from the philosophy of Jung Jung Dong (靜中動)—stillness in motion—her pieces evoke a quiet tremor, even in their most serene states. Inspired by the golden crowns of Korea’s Shilla Dynasty, she creates living objects, functional pieces, and poetic installations that speak to the ever-evolving nature of time and being.
