There are two clear aspects in any incident: time and space. Everything in the world exists under them. Unlimited relationships stem from time and space. If one small stone is here, this stone is in relation to all things in the world, and the stone is connected with the whole universe. Space is related to size and place. Adding the effect of time, incalculable incidences are possible. Incidents are a creation of space and time. The two elements are not separated, but are tightly connected and change together. Time and space are not independent.

   Though time and space are connected with our lives very closely, we don't give them much attention on a day-to-day basis. We feel all changes around us in relation to time and space, but do not face them as real substances. This moment of space is based on the past. Today is not made in a day, but many years are stacked up to bring us to today. People live under the cultures, morals and values that other people have made. And we wish for a better tomorrow. We wish a peaceful and safe life for the future. Everyday we live is not always even and easy. People wish for something better than today. People are not only waiting for tomorrow, but also making wishes for something concrete.

   In my childhood, I used to follow my family to the Buddhist temple. I can't say it confidently, but Buddhism is almost my background. Buddhism is comfortable and natural to me.

   When Buddhism was transmitted to Korea, it absorbed many other beliefs. So, when we go to Buddhist temple, there are shrines to these other beliefs, not only a Buddhist sanctum. This was to encourage common people to come to temple. In this way, Korean Buddhist temples are filled with many old customs and stories. The stone tower is the one of them.

   The stone towers are everywhere in Korea. The stones are strong and everlasting, so people make wishes to them. People pile up stones as they wish something whenever they find flat stones and empty places. Everybody is living with a hope for the future whether it is big or small. The stone tower is where they come to pile up stones in honor of their wishes.

   I put a small stone on my cube as I wish something. I wish my future is easy and peaceful. Countless time has been repeated since ceramic culture has made. I added this time to the past today with great effort. My cube is a symbol of today, its rationality and convenience. I wanted to contain the time, the past that we have walked along, the present that we live just now, and the future that I wish for.
