Emotional Memories

In Seon’s series titled "Emotional Memories”, composed of photographs and porcelain sculpture, she talks about the memories of emotions in the unconscious through visual elements. Porcelain is a medium that is both fragile and strong and thus is symbolically used to mirror Seon’s life. The light painting photography further expresses Seon’s inner feelings metaphorically. The simultaneous rounded and sharp aspects of the shirubean convey the duality of emotions. This paradox embodies Seon's consciousness to compose her unique work. In addition, as images are superimposed with colours, the photograph visualizes complex features of emotions and reveals that various elements coexist simultaneously. The harmony of paradoxical ideas, such as lightness and heaviness, transparency and opacity, are displayed as complexity in emotion.
