Gangneung Danoje Sculpture was a design work for Gangneung’s famous traditional festival. This sculpture was to be placed outside in the grounds of the area where the festival takes place every year. This sculpture is a symbol of tradition, and Danoje festival. There were many images of the festival to take inspiration from. This sculpture suggestion was inspired from the traditional clothes worn in religious rites of this day, and also the fire burning event. The overall shape is a symbol of harmony, adoration of ancestors, and yearly flames.
