"Morganta" A Swedish word that cannot be directly translated, but if translated, it means "the path of moonlight reflected on the water's surface." On a full moon night with the sound of the tide echoing, standing quietly, one feels as if time has stopped around them, enveloped in the silence and mysterious atmosphere. In the cold air and rising mist, the path of the moon reflected on the water's surface seems to invite the artist on a new journey. This series expresses the gentle time and scenery with fluctuating glazes, the scent of the sea caressing the cheeks, and the gentle time and scenery that slowly begin to flow when taking a deep breath. Notes: There may be areas that look like scratches when the glaze is removed from the base, but these are from the beginning. Please check the photos and understand. Only the artwork is included.
