愛 Love _Narcissism



This work deals with the problem of "Love" among the series works that assume human natural needs in five categories of
"wealth, honor, health, love, and beauty" and express them as works through consideration of life.

It is a jar decorated with the motif of a mythical story of narcissism, the importance of living with a deep affection for oneself based on the Buddha's said, You, yourself, as much as anybody in the entire universe, deserve your love and affection.' self-esteem.

The pond viewed by Narcissus in myth was expressed as the inner mind of the unknown and the inner space of the jar. The surface of the pot carved in the shape of a daffodil along the hair becomes a splendid chandelier. It is decorated with the devil's eyes that protect me from the jealousy or timing of others, the Nazarbonjubilee jewels.

And the jar stand represented the shape of a lotus flower supporting the Buddha in paradise, the world of Buddha. It expressed a figure like a sit-down in the sense of gaining enlightenment by shining on me.
