SSimji - 82 -55
In this project, clay workshops were conducted in various public places in Ulsan to allow members of the public to create flowers in the traditional Onggi ceramic style. This coincided with the Onggi Expo, Ulsan’s first international art expo, allowing the community to become involved in a more hands-on way. The flowers were then assembled into larger sculptures.
The box at the top is designed to store sound system and it's weather proof.
