Group Show ’Blue is the warmest color’ at Onna House

Palm Beach, Florida

For this group show, Hur presented the “Sacred Echoes” series that was inspired by the meaning of blue in Hinduism and chants. This series reflects on the ways sound, memory, and spiritual experience ripple through space and time. Like a mantra whose vibrations continue long after it is spoken, the flowing glaze records a sense of movement and reverberation, carrying traces of both presence and absence.

Atmospheric and expansive, the blurred edges seem to reverberate across the surface like the lingering resonance of a chant, unfolding in rhythmic waves and echoes. The glaze evoke the fluid movements of oceans, clouds, drifting mists and landscape, while the hand-torn contours appears to pulse outward beyond the vessel’s physical boundaries.

Existing between painting and ceramics, gravity and weightlessness, the vessel becomes a contemplative site where material form gives shape to the unseen and the ineffable.
