Miju Lee Sculpts Emotional Ceramic Miniatures

Miju Lee has created a special type of art in these sad ceramics. These sad ceramics are full of emotions and pastel colors, which enables the figurines to convey a sense of longing. The sculptures are oddly shaped in that many seem less similar to the human form and more akin to an egg; all of the showcased characters have hunched-over backs, which only emphasizes their sadness.

Miju Lee is a multi-disciplined artist who showcases various styles of paintings and sculptures on her website. Her sculptures seem to be the most captivating of all her art. In one look, Miju Lee's work conveys a message of sorrow; however, at the same time, these sad ceramics display a sense of hope and optimism that radiates through their eyes.
