Comment on Award

I try to make innovative artwork by making the most of the characteristics of cloisonne material such as the beauty of the cloisonne glaze and the strong luster of the silver wires. The main theme of my artwork is "flow". I created a piece where you can feel movement and change in the design with a unique hexagonal form and sharp ridge lines. I am very happy and grateful for being highly evaluated. This award has encouraged me to continue to move forward one step at a time. Thank you very much.
