White Flag

WHITE FLAG defies borders and politics - instead, it embodies the hope for peace. With this proposal we question what a border is in the DMZ. A line that divides two nations is thought of as rigid and permanent. Instead, we propose a border of steam, a border that simultaneously is there and is not there. A monolithic white flag motif with no volume, constantly changing like a flag in the wind. More users of the bathhouse increase the intensity of the flag, showing that it is the people who create the desire for peace rather than the state.
