Starting in 1960, Korean ceramics techniques developed rapidly as the Korean people's living patterns and values changed as Korean industries developed rapidly. However, the opportunity for the people to become closer to nature has been relatively reduced compared to the present advanced technological skills and productivity. In response, ceramic artists have begun to focus on producing pottery that can be meaningful in terms of individual individuality and story solving, breaking away from the monotonous and undistinguished industry. However, while there are a variety of works that can reveal a person's individuality, the researcher has decided to produce works based on the nature of the Republic of Korea, not on individual characteristics. Nature is consumed by humans, but there are times when nature stays the same unless it is consumed by humans. Among them, the only thing to notice is inside a cave that keeps its natural condition without harming humans. Inside the cave are ' stalactites ', ' stalagmites ' and ' stone pillars ' that are naturally created. Caves exist as limestone, and limestone reacts with water where carbon dioxide is dissolved to form calcium carbonate. Calcium carbonate dissolves in water and decomposes with carbon dioxide. As such, a large part of nature formed by the overlay of nature, and thus a visual image of " overlap " was used to represent stalagmites. In the history of mankind, pottery was originally made with " soil " and " water " and " fire " from nature, and the method of making is more native than the current technology, but the most basic materials and human beings. The study produced a sculpture with the motif of " conservation of nature, " which could affect mankind, to protect nature and to give a good message to future generations.
