Timeless Breath

: The Modern Onggi Collection by Shiheun Han

Rooted in Korea’s age-old ceramic tradition, Onggi 옹기 has long been known as a vessel that breathes — alive with the rhythm of nature.
In Timeless Breath, artist Siheun Han 한 시흔 reinterprets this living tradition through a modern lens, revealing the quiet elegance and sculptural harmony of clay shaped by air, fire, and time.

Each piece captures the essence of breath — the subtle balance between containment and release — transforming an ancient everyday object into a work of contemporary art.
Han’s Onggi vessels embody not only function but also the spirit of continuity: where the heritage of Korean craftsmanship meets the language of modern form.

Through these works, Timeless Breath invites us to pause — to feel the stillness, the warmth of earth, and the timeless rhythm that connects past and present.
