explores the anxious emotions that emerge from the conflict between inner feelings and external appearance, using dripping glaze to visualize the uncontrollable overflow of emotion. In this work, the mask is presented as a separate, external entity detached from the bear’s body. The head features a rounded form with multiple horn-like protrusions extending outward. At the tips, colored glazes are applied to emphasize diffusion—symbolizing how emotions push beyond internal boundaries. Bright green-toned slip is used to enhance luminosity and suggest a lighter, more hopeful emotional tone. In African traditions, the horns of ritual masks often symbolize spiritual roles or gender identity. Similarly, the horns in this series appear repeatedly, spreading in irregular directions and supporting pools of flowing glaze. These visual elements metaphorically represent the uncontrolled release of emotion. The unpredictable movement of the glaze evokes a cycle of emotional suppression followed by eruption. As such, the work reflects a raw, primal expression—bridging contemporary emotional states with the symbolic language of primitive art.
