“Here is a big egg. An egg has a simple form but connotes limitless possibility. Life begins and all things are created by delicate oscillation felt from ovalness other than a geometric complete sphere. This big egg, which engraved the history of human culture in fingerprints, symbolises the creative power of design.

I really wish Dongdaemun Design Plaza could soar up vigorously towards the transcendental freedom of spirit by hatching a gigantic egg just like Chuang-Izu’s rock.”

Cho Byungsup, 2013

The goal for the Seoul Biennale 2023 is to create a human-scale resonator. In my case, I decided to build a white, egg-shaped, and perfectly symmetrical resonator. It’s composed of three layers which, within each other, create two horizontal openings for light to enter and sound to exit. An exterior and horizontal wooden frame helps the resonator to highlight its openings.
