Jeuno JE Kim`s
final form consists of a glass outer and an inner form, in which the ashes are visibly preserved.
She refers to Platonic solids - a geometrical model of the world developed by Plato, which can be found in many forms of nature, such as crystals. In it polyhedra / polygonal bodies are assigned to the elements. The twelve-cornered dodecahedron, which is the outside form of that work, symbolizes the fifth element, the »other«, the ether. The blue inner form (based on a hexahedron) creates a connection to the element earth. The blue glass form is designed for the dimensions of an ash capsule, but ideally the ash is filled directly and thus visible.
This final form was produced in cooperation with the Swedish glass manufacturer Sweden Crystal.

She moves between the fictional and the factual, the found and the constructed.
