Work 'Sowon'

[Asia Economy Reporter Jongil Park] Nowon-gu (District Mayor Oh Seung-rok) installed two preliminary exhibition pieces of ‘Nowon Moonlight Walk’ along Danghyeoncheon on the 29th in celebration of Chuseok.

This work is part of the ‘Nowon Moonlight Walk’ project promoted by the district, planned to provide visual attractions to residents during the Chuseok holiday period.

The installed works are titled ‘Wish’ and ‘The Girl Holding the Earth.’ ‘Wish’ depicts a girl who lost her family during the war and is carrying her younger sibling, looking up at the moon and making a wish, expressing the moon’s image of ‘wish.’

‘The Girl Holding the Earth’ revives the memory of the mask volunteer corps, where residents united in spirit during the COVID-19 crisis. It symbolizes ‘hope’ by portraying a delicate girl lifting the Earth.

Both works are made of hanji paper and steel, and when illuminated from 5:30 PM to 10:30 PM, they appear as bright as the moon. The two pieces can be viewed on the right bank of Danghyeon 1 Bridge near Sanggye Baek Hospital.

Oh Seung-rok, Mayor of Nowon-gu, said, “To support residents refraining from returning home, we operated a drive-in theater, opened some multi-use facilities, and deployed staff along major streams and walking paths. We will strive to make this Chuseok enjoyable and safe.”
