The work has many different topographical features and is visually striking. Each pig figurine measures 0.5" x 1" x 0.5". All of the pigs are made out of ceramic. Each pig is handmade, a mold was not used because it is a meditative practice of hand-building in which I create imagery and objects in mass that speak to both our uniqueness and anonymity. The frame is ready to hang on a wall. Aluminum bar hanger on the back.

Seunghwui Koo is a contemporary award-winning South Korean artist. The artist draws inspiration for her artwork from the delicate details of her daily life in New York City. Her work is a commentary on the lives she has seen in New York. She was born in South Korea, where she originally developed the concept of combining the human body and pig's head. The significance of the pig's head is seen in the various Eastern and Western symbolic meanings. Her works often deal with the ideas of good fortune (Eastern) and greed (Western), two very different interpretations of the pig. Her artistic mediums include resin, acrylic, plaster, clay, and mixed media.
Seunghwui Koo was born in 1981, in South Korea. She lives and works in the USA.
