Generations at the Table
Sculpture, 7x7x8
This 3D sculpture captures the continuity of Korean culture across generations. The stone steps display three pairs of shoes — belonging to a grandmother, a mother, and a child — symbolizing the passage of time and the shared path between generations.
Inside, the “bapsang” (traditional Korean dining table) remains constant, filled with familiar dishes that reflect the enduring heart of family life. While styles, objects, and people change with time, the act of gathering for a meal — sharing stories, love, and connection — stays the same.
Through miniature details and warm tones, the work honors the beauty of tradition that transcends generations, showing that even as life evolves, the core of Korean culture and family remains unchanged.
