Chae Eunmi creates artworks on the theme of eternity and uses gold in her work to symbolize the unchanging eternity. She believes that within eternity’s endless space, light is a symbol of life and truth, with the color inside of light symbolizing energy - another constant and unchanging quality. Chae uses the light of the gold to bring warm and peaceful energy not only into her work but into the universe as well. This perfectly complements Chae’s use of mother of pearl, which alludes to resilience through its very creation and existence. Just as the beautiful markings on mother of pearl are the result of the arduous process it endures to take its form, it is representative of how painful experiences and hardships of life are a part of what makes us so beautiful and who we are.
As light comes in to fill and unite with the empty spaces in Chae’s works, the golden surfaces of the cubic forms continuously reflect unto one another to create an infinite amount of new spaces and images. To Chae, human life imitates such phenomena as humans also reflect one another, assisting and affecting each other’s lives, while constantly changing, expanding, and growing their inner selves.
“In the beginning, butterflies were incapable of flying as their wings were all torn up and made of various different fragments. One day, a golden seed was planted in the heart of a butterfly who wanted so dearly to fly and kept growing until it began to sprout leaves, flowers, and fruits. The flowers began to cover and mend the butterfly’s wings until the butterfly was resurrected and finally able to fly towards its dreams while simultaneously spreading the aroma of beauty, love, and blessings to the world. ”
