Yee’s Moonlight Crown series is structured in such a way that they expand upward from the crown shape at the very bottom. Inspired by a Silla gold crown and Baekje gilt-bronze incense burner, Yee uses the crown—a symbol of power—as a support rather than placing it atop a head, drawing an artwork that is both spiritual object and body. The symbolic forms emerge as a mixture of craft materials such as iron, glass, and pearl comes together like mosaics of fragments, which also seem to melt as if dissolved in flames.
