The Nature of Manpasikjeok reinterprets the ancient Korean legend of the magical flute said to calm disasters and bring prosperity. Visualizing wind and sound through generative media, the work evokes the mythic role of Manpasikjeok in protecting the city — symbolically warding off wildfires and floods to bless Daegu and its citizens with peace and fortune.
The Manpasikjeok is said to have been gifted by the sea dragon to King Sinmun of Silla, a flute whose breath could stop storms, drive away enemies, and bring rain to parched land. This work translates that mythic breath into generative visuals — wind patterns, fluid simulations, and sonic waves rendered in real time as a living, protective screen.
