Prepared War Memorial by Jiho Won

Jiho Won created the 'memorial' above in 2011 using crystal bricks stacked on top of each other. He uses transparent materials in his work to create new ways of seeing the environment around the pieces. The artist refers to these works as ponds that store old memories. Memories grow and transform like crystals or stalagmites, referenced by the plaster contained within the glass, resembling natural forms, as in the piece below (Transformed Memory, 2012)
