A "hang ha li", or Korean jar, has a very strong cultural overtone in Korea.
"Hang ha li" are sandstone jars which, for centuries, have been used by Korean families to keep food. "Kimchi" for example, a spicy cabbage dish eaten with every Korean meal, could be kept a whole winter in a "hang ha li" half buried in a garden or simply stored in a courtyard. No wonder they were so popular! Today, fridges have replaced these jars, but they still have a future as art pieces. Well looked for, these jars are now decorating modern flats, bringing along their design and their familiar aspects.

A "chang dok" is a set of "hang ha li", put in half circles, the smaller in front, the bigger at the back.

Hi Suk approach is double: to carry on the "hang ha li" tradition, and to turn them into present day objects.
By playing with sizes, shapes and colors, Hi Suk projects the "hang ha li" towards modernity, turning them into purely art objects.

Today, everyone knows that man damages his environment, and that we reached a stage where we have to choose between irreversible degradations OR take new directions to find a sustainable balance between man and nature.

To emphasize this idea, artists have a role to play. That's why the ceramicist Hi Suk has created a set of artworks aiming at showing today's earth state.
Through these tormented and worn out artworks, we can see how much our planet is already damaged.
If you become aware of this issue while watching these objects, then the artist's goal is reached.

With enough “if”, we could put Paris into a bottle!
A drunkard’s purse is a bottle...
This is a few among many sayings involving a bottle.
Bottles have been closed to and part of men culture for so long that the word “bottle”, so frequent in many proverbs, raises instantly in our mind a vast and poetic universe.

The egg, one of life original shapes, is not only a space endowed with remarkable mathematical features, it is also a shape bringing peace and harmony to mind.

An egg gives life. But a soft boiled egg is food. After consumption, what remains beyond a chipped shell is a contrast between the original shape harmony AND the wounds and marks of destruction left by the consumer.

Here's a few interesting facts about bamboos:

The bambousoidae family includes about 1200 species, endemic on each continent but Europe and Antarctica. Bamboos size ranges from 1 to 20 metres, their growth can reach 1 meter a day, and they can be found between the elevation of 1 to 3000 m. How versatile they are!

Do you know that bamboos bloom every 1 to 100 years depending on the species? But most remarkable fact is their blooming: for a given specie, it happens at the same time around the world. What a coordination! A simultaneity not yet scientifically explained.

Bamboos are used as food (not only to pandas), as ornamental plants, as drawing or painting tools, for fighting soil erosion, to remove some toxins in the soil. Bamboos fix 30 % more CO₂ than trees and have a very small ecological imprint. Out of bamboos can be made pulp, textile, furniture, floors, fishing rods, bows, music instruments, various ustensils, houses... and so on.
