Sanghyeob Lee's Moon Jar, his most iconic artwork, is made by supporting an 11 kg silver disc with one hand and tapping with a hammer tens of thousands of times with the other. His works are born from a harsh production method which creates simple lines to depict Korean aesthetics. In college, Sanghyeob learned that his creations would contribute to the culture of this era. "When scholars look at relics, they infer the kind of use of an object depending on its age," he says. With his unique art form, Sanghyeob seeks to create relics that will reflect the culture of our age, for future generations.
