MOON JAR
The Moon Jar, a traditional Korean porcelain from the Joseon dynasty (1392-1910), embodies Korea's pottery culture with its pure white color, elegant curves, and unadorned form. Its wide mouth, larger than its base, creates a floating effect, and its construction involves joining two half-spherical sections. More than just pottery, it reflects Korean artistic and philosophical heritage.
This film explores Korean heritage by presenting the Moon Jar in a modern, gallery-like setting that evokes serenity and grandeur. A central display pillar, initially concealed by silk curtains, symbolizes the Neo-Confucian concept of 'Cheonwonjibang' — a square pond with a round island, representing cosmic balance. By blending tradition with modern cinematic techniques, the film pays homage to the past while resonating with contemporary audiences.
