AOTY23 Overall Winner
Full of hope with Iris, Saeri Seo
Saeri’s work merges personal narrative with social and cultural influences, visually reflecting her journey. Central to her art is the exploration of “good child syndrome,” shaped by Korean cultural background, which profoundly impacted her life. In response, Saeri deconstructs and reimagines traditional Korean ceramics, symbolising liberation from past constraints.
Her work captures themes of personal growth, self-discovery, and healing, fostering introspection and dialogue. Contrasting with the fragmented pottery, the iris flower, symbolising hope, emerges as a testament to resilience and beauty born from transformation.
