12 GUARDIANS

This collection of vibrant artworks depicts the "Sibijisin" (Twelve Earthly Branches), a revered set of guardian deities in Korean and East Asian folklore. Each piece vividly portrays an animal of the zodiac, transformed into a powerful, anthropomorphic figure adorned in traditional attire and wielding symbolic weapons. These divine protectors, believed to ward off evil spirits and bring good fortune, showcase a dynamic blend of cultural heritage and artistic imagination. Together, they represent the cyclical nature of time and the protective forces watching over humanity.
