“Jangseung” is traditional Korean totemic sculptures placed at village entrances or in front of temples to ward off evil spirits. With their exaggerated and humorous facial expressions,  “Jangseung” serves not only as guardians but also as symbols reflecting the spirit and identity of the community.
Today, they are reinterpreted through folk festivals and contemporary art, continuing as sculptural forms infused with nature and philosophy. The second piece in the Narrative Series draws inspiration from the form of “Jangseung”, Korea’s traditional totem.  This shelf proposes a simple yet bold silhouette by contrasting the natural curves of a bent pine tree shaped without resisting nature with the angularity of stainless steel.
