The Hands from the Sea and the Land

In Pohang, you can visit the famous Sangsaeng hands at the Homigot Sunrise Plaza. They are both bronze sculptures, and they were built in December 1999 to represent the Sunrise Festival (Homigot Plaza is the easternmost part of Korea and has the first sunrise each year) and the new millennium. On a more profound level, the hands were created to represent coexistence and the idea that people are living together to help one another. After all, "sangsaeng" means "coexistence" in Korean. Out of the two hands, the left is on the land, and the right is in the ocean. The message behind the hands was powerful. The hands coming out from the ground and the sea were majestic. #trip #beachlife
