Echoes From The River
Gyeongju River
2019
In this work, I conducted research on mythological animals typically represented as sculptures in front of homes and religious temples within the neighborhood. These representations must originate from the surrounding environment. During my research, I collected various everyday materials to create a costume, envisioning what these mythological animals would look like in the present day.
