moon jar Body to Body (no. 31) small

저기 저 달에 닿게 손에 손
So we can reach the moon over there, hand in hand

너와 나 we on and on
You and me, we on and on

translation : Doolset lyrics

This moon jar is inspired by the style of the whole Arirang album. But i selected these lyrics of Body to Body because we waited for such a long time (I'm an early 2020 ARMY and never saw OT7 live) and we are back as 8 (#sobbing).

This hand build ceramic moon jar with specks of red glaze covered with a layer of transparent glaze. The bottom part of the moon jar is unglazed, raw and textured. 

Please be aware of the fact that my moon jars are not perfect. The moon jar was the Korean symbol for beauty at the end of the 17th century. Their organic shape and (originally) milky white color resembles the moon. The asymmetrical shape is formed by two halves that are joined in the middle. The seam, cracks, color differences and the irregular shape are left visual to accentuate the human touch and to show the craftsmanship.

Koreans believe that beauty comes with imperfection and humility. "If you are searching for beauty, you will not find it. Not searching for beauty is beauty.". Or from the lyrics Like animals "There's beauty outside control".
