Root Series by Park Seon-min
This collection of sculptures is inspired by the connections within human society. Reclaimed glass bottles are used for the branches which extend from the ceramic root representing the entanglements in social relationships. Intricate designs using etching techniques are used to beautifully decorate the glass branches and a brushing gold method is incorporated to add an element of luxury.

Voyager by Jung Yuri
This collection of bags is made from metal and fabric using techniques such as hammering, soldering, and Ottchil (traditional Korean natural lacquer). The Ottchil technique is mainly used to prevent the surface of the metal from oxidizing, however, the designer takes an unconventional approach by applying Ottchil to the metalwork. Overall, the bags are beautifully crafted, and each piece is unique.

Forest of Stools by Kim Su-yeon
This piece is constructed of many delicate layers of glass. The designer repeats the process of drawing stools with glass string on a sheet of glass which is then powder fired in the kiln at a low temperature. The result is in an intricate and striking design and a beautiful visual art piece.
