We,We Wish
the world can be healed through art
We We Wish is an NFT artwork series themed around Korea's cultural heritage, masks, myths, and rituals. For the 2023–2024 season, the series will unveil 'The Tutelar Guardian of Forgotten Tales' (12 NFTs), 'The Clown Once Revered as a Deity' (10 NFTs), and 'The Silent Healer Quietly Mending the World Unseen' (17 NFTs). Soojin Pray, a performer and digital healer, conducts rituals at times and places that resonate with the stories behind the titles, choosing masks that fit the actions of each ritual. The rituals adhere to the actual sequence of putting on and removing masks, based on traditional Korean shamanic practices. The masks featured are unfinished works by Lee Doyeol, a traditional Korean mask artisan. This project spanned over a year, encompassing research, location selection, rituals, filming, and editing. The final pieces are crafted by the artist, who is also a digital healer, through a process of editing and mixing the professionally shot footage. Each artwork's title was created using AI, which crafted names in the traditional Korean poetic form of Sijo (similar to Western sonnets or Japanese haiku), based on the conversations and information exchanged with the artist throughout the production period.
