DOKKAEBI
Dokkaebis (도깨비) are creatures from Korean mythology and folklore. Also known as "Korean Goblins", these creatures are formed from a spiritual possession of an inanimate object. This project, developed from the previous project Human and Material Gap, is an exploration of ways of re-enchanting the way we perceive and value inanimate objects.
