As the sun peaks over the horizon, as the light floods into a room as the door opens, that is “Burning Freedom”.
Bora Kim’s unique concept vehicle stretches (quite appropriately) into what concept designers often miss: the fact that it may never be a reality.
For Bora Kim, Burning Freedom is “darkness and desire, eternal sunshine, the road to realization, and collision of senses.”
Bora’s outlook on the concept is dream-like, and the car is like a dream.
The outer shell is made of transparent and semi-transparent pieces that possess no colour while stationary. Upon movement, the reflection of light fully illuminates that car with an array of colours.
Nonetheless, for Kim, “true freedom comes from within."
