[Asia Economy Reporter Byunghee Park] The photo exhibition "The Secret of Amber Jewelry," showcasing the unique charm of amber (琥珀) gemstones, will be held at Surim Art Center until the 31st.

The exhibition is organized in collaboration with the Embassy of Latvia in Korea and the Surim Cultural Foundation to introduce Latvian culture and art.

Amber jewelry is one of Latvia's great natural heritages. Latvian amber has been found along the Baltic Sea coast from 4,000 years ago to the present day.

This exhibition, featuring works by Latvian photographer Andris Zegners (58), offers a new perspective on the special material of amber jewelry. Due to the chemical composition of amber, it preserves a unique world of ancient insects and plants, allowing viewers to appreciate amber jewelry through close-up views from a fresh perspective.

Andris Zegners studies the structure and texture of various objects and natural elements through creative transformation. He has held exhibitions in the three Baltic states (Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania), Finland, the United Kingdom, Luxembourg, Russia, Australia, the United States, India, and China.

The official opening event featuring Andris Zegners will be held at 6 p.m. on the 15th at the Surim Art Center gallery.
