This fountain sculpture was inspired by a field study on medical water in Sanbang Mountain, one of the most famous tourist attractions in South Korea, and interviews with two religious escapees about the holy water in their nature sanctuary. I collaged the researched visuals and catchphrases from those sites and created a new fountain for Choi-Go Water, which even has a rail on which viewers can hang their wishes.
