About Moon

1986. 05. 19.   Heemin, Moon
‍
I am a 3-dimensional artist.
I pursue to design with common and easy subjects that quickly bring communication and relationships among people. The desire for my creation is derived from my surroundings since I am interested in investigating the essence of the creatures around me - which are complicated, delicate, and sometimes absurd.

Many of my works get inspiration from them and I like to RE-THINK and RE-CONSTRUCT them in a most basic way within my three-dimensional formula.
Significantly, the dogs with the various aspects fascinate and allow me to re-discover and re-interpret their fundamental meaning and shape.

I believe that art should have elements that reflect the essence of life and familiarity that everyone can approach easily.
