Based on the mind-body theory of Maurice Merleau-Ponty (1908-1961), this study aims to analyze ceramic sculptures that express the body from a new perspective. This study analyzes ceramic sculptures from the phenomenological point of view through Merleau-Ponty, who talks about the whole body rather than a dichotomous body. In particular, among contemporary ceramic sculptures, it is analyzed focusing on sculptures that express body shape, and attempts to expand the scope of perspective. This examines Merleau-Ponty's mind-body theory, focusing on three keywords: 'the phenomenal Feild', 'Embody', and 'the corporeal scheama'. Each keyword is applied to the artists and analyzed to try a phenomenologically meaningful approach. As a result, this study aims to present Merleau-Ponty's mind-body theory as a new perspective on sculptural works and to contribute to broadening the perspective on ceramic sculptural works.
