Tree Boat
Journey, a site-specific sculpture by Korean artist Myeongbeom Kim, is a participatory art project inspired by a voyage of cooperation, wish and meditation. It is comprised of an evolving rock sculpture or tower inside a local fisherman’s boat. Each stone corresponds to a personal wish that upon a boat begins an allegorical journey of contemplation and perhaps realization. The work is based on a popular Korean tradition that pertains to a folk religion influenced by Buddhism.
