Art Sonje Center presents yeesookyung's solo exhibition,《Moonlight Crowns》 from July 29th to September 26, 2021. Moonlight Crowns is a new series of the artist, adopting crowns as a motif of her artwork. This series began in 2017, the works were already exhibited at the Museo Madre and Museo di Capodimonte in Italy.

A total of 11 works of sculpture are exhibited ; the sculptures range in height from 100 to 225 centimeters, creating "a landscape that calls to mind a crows of 11 people standing in the exhibition space."

As Art Sonje Center states, the works were inspired by a Silla gold crown and Baekje gilt bronze incense burner, the artist uses the crown(a symbol of power) as a support rather than placing it atop a head, drawing out of it an artwork that is both object and body. The various symbolic patterns and forms emerge : angels, praying hands, corsses, dragons, plants, cartoon characters, magic wands, and more. The shapes come together are like mosaics of fragments, seeming as if it is melting as they dissolve in flames. Like these pieces cluster together to form new shapes and lives, the Moonlight Crowns also creates new "life forms" by bringing together the fragmented materials and symbols diveriging from their contexts in terms of conventional beliefs. It is an approach that entails an intricate crafting process.
