The Korean woman in Hanbok

Sculpture of a Korean woman in hanbok attire.

This white clay statue depicts a Korean woman wearing a hanbok, the traditional costume whose elegance relies on the purity of its lines and the balance of its volume.

The jeogori, the short jacket forming the upper part of the outfit, is distinguished here by its clean lines and delicate ornamentation. At the center, the long ribbons of the otgoreum, tied with precision, structure the silhouette and draw the eye to the costume's refined details.

The whiteness of the clay further enhances this minimalist aesthetic, allowing the form, posture, and structure of the costume to take center stage.

A figurative sculpture that evokes Korean culture through one of its most iconic sartorial symbols.
