\u201cBeautiful objects that serve a purpose. They are both tools and works of art.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

I have always been drawn to the timeless qualities of tools humans have used over time\u2014the strength of materials, the beauty that develops with age, and the human sense of humor they embody. I have absorbed these qualities in my own way, transforming them into the forms I create today. Objects that are both functional and sculpturally beautiful\u2014this has been my goal since I began making art.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

The owner of ARTS & SCIENCE, Sonya Park, named this collection \u201cUtilitarian.\u201d Literally, it translates to \u201cutilitarianism,\u201d referring to things that tend to produce pleasure, good, or happiness\u2014or, conversely, prevent pain, harm, or unhappiness. Her interpretation felt surprisingly fitting.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

These are objects that enrich a space simply by being present. Through daily use, they develop a personal beauty unique to each individual. This exhibition gathers such works. Please enjoy.\u201d<\/p>\n
