After taking care of my parents for the last journey of their lives, the meaning of life came to my mind. Life is actually suffering since the birth. To minimize this suffering, it is necessary to understand that we all have limitless lives in the past and future. Death is not the end of life but the door opening for another life. From our knowledge and wisdom of what went in our past lives, we may be able to shape our present and future lives. In order to convey the message of life through art work, “symbolism” and the understanding the work of art was applied in this study. The objective of this work to convert the experiences of birth, death, illness, suffering through the compassion, empathy, and spirituality in the present life to the meaning of eternity. By adopting the organic shape, the art works were created using paper mache, plastic clay or china clay. Through high temperature firing and surface modification by engobe, 3-dimensional art works with unique colored and textured surface are presented. More importantly, an intensified interaction/communication between art work and audience/environment is expected. As the title of this thesis is “Life Memory to Future Eternity,” the creation idea of this work comes from the creation of nature life such as flowers, seeds, and bubbles with modified 3-dimensional textures. To express the meaning of life, the art works of this study are divided into to six categories: 1. Flow memory, 2. Climbing flower, 3. Flower of heart, 4. Seeds, 5. Symbol for eternity, 6. Bubbles.
