The Guest by Henn Kim

DESCRIPTION

The Guest designed by Korean illustrator Henn Kim delivers us two deeply thoughtful pieces in her signature black and white illustrative style.

The small numbered edition is shown with two band-aids over the right eye and a flower over the left, potentially symbolising a desire to turn a blind eye to life's misfortune, to heal, in order to protect a damaged heart. It shows that through the suffering and pain, life always flourishes.

The large version of The Guest, a limited edition of 250, made in black glazed porcelain, depicts cartoonish galaxies, stars and planets that symbolise the vastness of our world and universe. The face shows a white background with a black void, partially covered by cloud it hints at a feeling of clarity and focus in a visual metaphor that draws the eye to it as a focal point of the piece. This piece is now sold out globally.
