New York, NY – Wook + Lattuada Gallery is pleased to announce the first solo exhibition of Korean ceramist Min, Kyungsun, featuring a captivating collection of hand-painted ceramic works and an interactive installation. This exhibition showcases Min’s signature exploration of memory, movement, and emotion, brought to life through the poetic interplay of form, color, and narrative.

Min, Kyungsun’s ceramic artworks bridge the delicate space between memory, movement, and emotion. The Duck and the Whale, Traces of My Soul in My Footsteps is a poetic journey through the artist’s inner world, where whimsical imagery of whales and ducks serves as a metaphor for identity, nostalgia, and personal transformation.

Each ceramic panel captures fleeting moments of exploration, portraying a narrative that oscillates between solitude and companionship, vast oceans and quiet reflections. Through expressive brushstrokes, deep blue currents, and bright yellow figures, Min creates a visual dialogue between the vastness of the sea and the intimacy of personal experience.

This exhibition also features a participatory artwork, "Traces of Time, Capturing Footsteps," which evolves with audience engagement. The artist has created a collection of tiny ceramic ducks, inviting visitors to personalize them by painting, adding eyes, or decorating them. Once completed, participants may take their duck home, while a Polaroid photo of their creation is placed on the gallery wall. Over time, these collected images will form a growing visual record—an artwork shaped by the passage of time and the shared memories of those who have contributed. Through this interactive experience, Min extends the exhibition beyond passive observation, encouraging audiences to reflect on the traces they leave behind and the connections they create.

Having exhibited in over 20 group shows, this marks Min’s first solo exhibition in New York. She holds both a BFA and MFA in Ceramics from Ewha Womans University and continues to work and live in Korea. Her artistic practice is deeply influenced by the fusion of heritage techniques and modern expression, blending time-honored ceramic methods with a contemporary visual language.

This exhibition explores the intersection of tradition and modernity, individual and collective experience, and memory and the present—transforming ceramics into an evolving, shared narrative of time and connection, echoing the universal themes of connection, adventure, and empathy.
