This originates from the mythical story that Haryn wrote. The story is composed of multiple events where people are oppressed by villains in different situations, with no one trying to intervene. When their desperate wishes reach the sky, a mythical creature comes to life, freeing the people from suffering and punishing the villains. 

The story has a playful and humorous tone but it is grounded in the historical trauma of Korea’s imperialist-colonial occupation and the erasure of our native cultures. Within this context, the wall shrine expands to provide the space and moment for a collective ritual to pray for those who are oppressed and suffering in today's society.
