A wall shrine made for collective ritual, a place of prayers for those who are oppressed and suffering.
This originates from my self written mythical story. The story is composed of multiple events where people are oppressed by villains in different situations, with no one trying to intervene. When their desperate wishes reach the sky, a mythical creature comes to life, freeing the people from suffering and punishing the villains. The story has a playful and humorous tone, but it implies Korean historical background of colonial occupation and the erasure of our own cultures.
The myth story was written with Anna Arov’s feedback from her writing class, 2025.
