Norigae

"Norigae", a traditional Korean clothing accessory used in Hanbok, is embodied in a Greek hand sculpture to present a feeling of biculturalism. The "Norigae" is placed in an inappropriate place demonstrating the emotion of straddling and disconnection. The grasping pose of the hands is highlighted with a gold aura presenting the emotional state of feeling lost.

“A 'Norigae' functions as a decorative pendant hung on a woman's upper garment or skirt and is placed around the hands presenting the sense of alienation.”
