The artwork of Hayun Surl explores cultural fluidity and adaptation, using ceramics as a form of record-keeping and self-examination. In "Liminal Figures," Surl reflects on the in-between spaces - between identities, places, and experiences - where meaning is shaped and reshaped.

These ceramic forms inhabit this threshold, capturing the tension and reciprocity between interior and exterior, content and container, and self and society. Hand built and high-fired, the physical vessels function as enduring metaphors—records of memory, influence, and belonging shaped by, and still shaping, Surl’s evolving Korean identity.

Through intuitive and deliberate decisions, each gesture in clay is a layered response to presence, contemplation, and transformation, allowing the past to inform the present in enduring, evocative ways.

The exhibition will remain on display through July 26.
