Huddle

2026 Porcelain slip, Stain, Clear glaze varies by work

Inspired by the huddling behavior of penguins, this work visualizes a form of connection in which individuals support one another and endure together in harsh environments and against life’s hurdles. It expresses the Emperor penguins’ formation of a tightly knit group, in which individual bodies lean against one another and share warmth. Through repeated forms and organically interconnected structures, the work represents the dense formation of a huddle. Each element comes together to create a unified form, reflecting the collective movement and structural characteristics of the group. The title *Hurdle* encompasses both the meaning of an obstacle to be overcome and the concept derived from penguin *huddling*.
