Artwork Description
Jiha Moon brings together inspiration from unexpected sources, like the stylized brushstrokes of Pop art painter Roy Lichtenstein, classical Korean calligraphy, Fu Dogs from traditional Chinese architecture, and even banana peels. “I am a cartographer of cultures and an icon maker in my lucid worlds,” the artist explains. Here, presented in the universal shape of a vase, she nimbly combines all these elements to upend perceptions of time and place.
