Ebb and Flow, an artist collective active in the field of art education, conducts a children’s workshop that draws on the geography of Changwon, with the meeting of land and sea, and its character as an industrial city that connects past and present. Soul of Earth, Soul of Water was conceived by recalling the history of Changwon, including the excavation of the Seongsan Shell Mound in the 1970s, its neighboring ironworks, and the formation of the surrounding industrial complex, and then combining these elements with the major concepts that inform Areum Kim and Jaewoong Seo’s work, respectively. Participants imagine the history of the ironworks, which utilize fire to produce steel, together with the cycle of earth and water, those primordial substances, and work to express the spirit of these facets of nature.
