01 · the courtyard

A garden where
the sky has settled.

Imagine an inner courtyard at midnight, paved in deep indigo. Around its edges, fragments of cloth, ceramic, and shell are arranged like punctuation in a long, careful sentence. The silence is not absence; it is the shape that holds everything else.

02 · artifacts

Five objects,
arranged in dim light.

01
pojagi 조선 / late

Wrapping cloth, indigo

Pieced from offcuts of household silk. The seams are visible by design — geometry born of thrift, kept for beauty.

02
shibori edo

Dye-resist scarf

Folded, bound and dipped. The pattern is the memory of pressure held against the cloth. A weather report from another century.

03
moon jar 17c

Joseon white porcelain

Two hemispheres joined while wet. The seam is a horizon. The whole jar leans, slightly, the way moons do.

04
shell found

Spiral, palm-sized

A whorl that begins outside time and ends in your hand. Bring it close to the ear, and the courtyard amplifies.

05
ukiyo-e 1832

Wave fragment

Cut from the corner of a larger print. The break makes it stranger. A single curl, suspended, never falling.

03 · poetry

하늘은 비어 있고 空は静かに the sky is empty,
and the shell remembers it.

소라 안에서 夜の声が聞こえる inside the shell, a night
that listens back.

정원은 자정에 真夜中に咲く the garden blooms
only after midnight.

04 · leaves

Leave a leaf
by the doorway.
