Soil is one of the four elements that make up the world, and its properties are formation and destruction. All life lives through the nourishment of the soil and goes back to the soil when life ends. Accordingly, the soil is not just an objective being but a "soul house" that becomes the source of our lives and retains the meaning of human existence.
KIM’s another interest, "light," can be defined as a free movement of existence in contrast to the immobility of the soil. Light is also defined as creation and extinction. The light scattered in space only gets life when it settles on the earth. The light does not disappear into the darkness but lights up the world and conceives life on the planet.
The soil and light have opposite characteristics, but the light stalks scattered on the earth create a world and create a new journey of life through time. KIM's "Journey of Thought" is a journey of work and life that captures these various stories created by soil and light.

Literature

Jiana Kim is a South Korean artist who completed her PhD in crafts and design in Seoul before finishing her artistic training in the United States, at Montclair State University and then in New York. She is known for her work with porcelain, which she uses to create hybrid compositions that play with texture via a language that is shared with sculpture and painting. Her approach goes beyond traditional Korean aesthetics, by reinterpreting heritage to align it with modernity, with this dual requirement giving it an original and assertive character.

Jiana Kim's work has been featured in numerous key galleries and museums. Her art is characterized by a unique technique that involves "drawing with light" using porcelain, which lends itself to many different variations in hybrid compositions.

Jiana Kim is a talented artist who has made a name for herself in the world of art with her unique approach to porcelain art. Her work is a testament to the rich history of ceramics in Korea, while also pushing the boundaries of traditional aesthetics to create something new and original.
