When Sungho Cho was 20 years old, he left his hometown Cheongsong in Korea, for Seoul to study metalwork and jewellery. After that he spent many years in Europe, expanding his artistic abilities both in Florence and Munich. This made him a global citizen. He knew his way around the world, but felt that somewhere during this development he lost a sense of who he was. His work reminded him of a life in the making. Through his work he felt able to get closer to knowing himself more: his work is a monument of his life. He hopes that those who wear and admire his work will also find it provides them with a way of bringing a new meaning to their life.

This silver bowl was made by connecting two casted silver sheets. The texture of the right hand side was achieved by rubbing the relief of the Berlin Wall whereas the left side patterns were made by stamping and roll printing. The object therefore contains traces of rain, wind and sunlight. The narrow and thin lines are made densely to create a mark corresponding to the traces of time.
