Kim Yong-Moon believes that humans, who are in the natural cycle, should support and help each other, just like a tree, and produces his works in this direction. "Embrace The Universe" showcases his profound understanding of interconnectedness and mutual support, as depicted through his innovative glassworks. Utilizing his pioneering technique of 'cast blowing,' Kim blends glass blowing with cast sculpting to create pieces that reflect the beauty and harmony found in nature.
In this exhibition, Kim's works capture the essence of natural phenomena, portraying the delicate interplay of light, color, and form. Pieces such as "Spring Flower" and "Sunset in a Bowl" are not merely aesthetic objects but narratives that echo the artist's belief in the natural cycle and mutual support among all living beings. His art draws viewers into a contemplative space where the transparency and opacity of glass illustrate the balance and unity inherent in nature.
