Artist Mira Kim's solo exhibition, titled 'Paper Flowers Embracing Moon Jars', is showcased at Gallery One in Wonju until the 22nd. The event features a variety of flowers crafted from traditional Korean 'Hanji' paper, displayed within moon jars and 'celadon' (Korean traditional porcelain) vases. The exhibition explores the unique charm and versatility of paper flower craft, traditionally limited to court ceremonies and shamanic or Buddhist practices. Through expressive freedom, Kim captures both strength and softness, integrating painterly elements into the paper flowers, enhancing their lifelike appeal. The creations illustrate an elegant combination of sculpture and painting, with pieces like 'Peony on a Moon Jar' and 'Forsythia in Celadon' showcasing dynamic vitality.
