Jeung Hoon Nam’s ceramic vessels are defined by thorn-like textures and rhythmic forms that explore a compelling paradox. At first glance, his jagged surfaces evoke aggression and self-protection, yet within these bold structures lie moments of sensitivity and reflection. His work is rooted in themes of survival, adaptation, and personal transformation—shaped by his experiences growing up between South Korea and the United States. Through clay, Jeung Hoon examines the dualities of strength and vulnerability, protection and exposure, inviting viewers to consider the ways we build to endure and evolve.
