27 hand-blown glass vessels and Savannah river water

“I’ve got peace like a river,” an African American spiritual that Gyun Hur grew up singing in Korean churches and its musical notation serve as a compositional structure for the installation. Hand-blown glass vessels filled with local Savannah River water and cast glass fossils adorn the gallery walls, giving sculptural form to the symbolism of rivers as sites for processing grief and for generating life.
