How can enrich the space where we stay
If we were to distinguish two essentials of the purpose of the existence of modern crafts, one can be called functional craft, and the other one, a craft of objet-ity for decorative purposes.
Of course, this does not mean that fine craftworks that are both functional and decorative do not exist, but based on the way modern crafts are produced, they can be differentiated into industrial crafts and artistic crafts.
"Nahnda Gorae"
One of the most vivid memories that I still remember is the sight of a whale in the distance swimming around slowly, spitting the water out high into the sky, and dozens of dolphins passing by quickly, creating a spray of water.
It was a very special experience now that I think of it, but at that time, it was one of the insignificant things that I could often see in everyday life. What brought back this special memory was when I met my wife who loved whales. "Nahnda Gorae" began with a small gift for my whale-loving wife.

'Flying Whale' ("Nahnda Gorae") is a kinetic art sculpture created by artist. Sang-yong Lee from Hyunjin Seoul Studio, based in South Korea.
This kinetic art piece crafted in wood, brass and leather represents a humpback whale. Placed delicately on its centre of gravity, set in motion with a slight push of the hand, the whale moves with irregular movements as if it was swimming.
