형해지내 形骸之內
The inner side of the body
形骸之內 is a word that extends through the mind, mentality, and morality of a person
"Along with the Self-God" series depicting the attitude of life based on super ego and self-reflection
Thedouble-decorated jar is a representation of the human body. The jar is carved into the shape of the human spine and ribs, as if the door to the afterlife was about to open. It contains a heart waiting for the referee. And the lid that covers the jar is represented as a temple where several pots like this one are gathered together to serve the noble, eternal lives of all mankind.
The silhouette of the pot described like this is also a metaphor for a beautifully preserved mummy. The heart, which is the beginning of life and the center of physical activity, is described as the root of human beings, symbolizing the source of thoughts and emotions and a storage place for witnessing, listening, and capturing the actions of life.
