Standing Bodhisattva
Description
Standing bodhisattva of carved lacquered wood construction with traces of original gilding; and with partial set of original woodblock-printed consecration sutras remaining in the hollow of the head. The bodhisattva's hand gestures (S: mudra) the left and the right hands are in the same positions in that the thumbs and the middle fingers of each hand are touching. This gesture is a variation of the vitarka mudra (S), which may be translated as the Reasoning or Discussion Mudra, which is usually associated with Buddha Amitabha. This statue may therefore represent the bodhisattva Avalokitesvara (S), Guanyin (C), Gwan-eum (K) who's parent buddha is Amithabha.

Translated Vase
Description
Fragments of broken white porcelain vases decorated with underglaze blue rejoined with epoxy, and the epoxy then covered in 24K gold leaf in a technique reminiscent of the traditional Japanese gold lacquer kintsugi technique used to repair borken cermaics. The Translated Vase series consists of sculptures reconstructed from discarded ceramic fragments. Yee Sookyoung recycles the discarded work of Korean masters who reproduce traditional Korean ceramics. Vases with minor defects are destroyed to retain the rarity and value of the unblemished masterpieces. Yee Sookyoung then pieces these destroyed vases back together in the manner of three-dimensional jigsaw puzzles, covering the cracks in gold.
