Sooyeon Kim is a ceramic artist who beautifully reinterprets the timeless aesthetic of traditional Korean baekja (white porcelain) into contemporary everyday objects.

Rooted in the restrained elegance and the profound beauty of empty space that define baekja, she creates functional tableware and tea objects designed for long-lasting daily use. Her work pays close attention to the subtle changes in glaze composition and firing process — carefully exploring the depth of color and rich surface textures that the materials naturally produce.

Rather than focusing on decoration, she prioritizes usability and quiet refinement. These values naturally infuse her tea tools and tableware, turning each piece into something far more than just a vessel.

Her creations capture the delicate sense of pause and space between object and environment. Through simple forms and understated colors, she offers a modern reinterpretation of baekja’s unique beauty — gently deepening and calming our everyday moments.
