Eunhyeon Ahn focuses on reimagining the Giwa shape, a traditional Korean style of roofing, using a Hanji (Korean mulberry paper) casting method.
Inspired by the warm glow of the dusk sky, Ahn concentrates on this time of day when surroundings fade away and an object’s form often radiates into focus with the last light.
Ahn’s ‘Giwa Series’, captures this fleeting moment and is enhanced via intricate textures provided by cast mulberry fiber, overlapping and creating layers of Hanji that radiate light in an elegant, temporal way. Through this warmth, Ahn’s work reveal an authentic beauty of Korea seeped into our everyday lives.
Based in Seoul, South Korea, Eunhyeon Ahn earned her Bachelor’s Degree in Hanji Spatial Formative Design from Yewon Arts University in 2019 and a Master’s Degree in Woodworking and Furniture Design from Hongik University in 2022.
