In Korean mythology, a Dokkaebi site refers to a haunted or sacred place associated with dokkaebi—mischievous and supernatural beings from Korean folklore. This installation presents a fictional narrative about a young dokkaebi who, having supernaturally matured at an unusual speed, has left his home behind—along with his belongings.
