At the beginning, I designed a work called Headpiece. This would look like the head of a human. I began by creating a 3D CAD drawing of an ancient glass cup (see Fig. 1) on my computer screen. This process enables me to engage with the relic in different angles, levels, and colours (Fig. 2). Throughout these experiments the form of the glass cup revealed its potential to be a piece of jewellery.
The 180 degree-rotated shape (Fig. 3) is evocative of a human head with a traditional Korean hairstyle (Fig. 4). This manipulation and combination of viewpoints provides me with a new perception of the objects and offers me a new way of presenting readings of the relics, symbols, and patterns from the three kingdoms. I became able to see unexpected visual elements of relics by looking at different perspectives.
