#6 titled the Plinth displays an illuminated pedestal with access from below, as from this position one is meant to be heard and seen. This drawing references the significance each nation puts on the media’s ability to inform the lives of citizens. In the North, it is the media that tells people to praise authority and never forget the past. While in the South, it is the media that tells people to be independent and continue modernizing, leaving the past behind.

#7 titled The Chamber shows repeating cylindrical spaces, capped with domes and open to the sky, projecting the sound from within, outward. This drawing references the endless echo chamber of propaganda prevalent within both the north and south. Multiple instances contribute to the concept of these chambers, such as: the giant speakers directed across the DMZ playing national anthems at the other side, the forced fake crying at the funeral of Kim Jong Il, the vocalizing of media personalities engaging the public, and the large amount of malls and tourism aimed at underscoring the severity of international relationships.

#8 titled The Theater shows angled rooms upward at screens projecting on a shared wall between the spaces. The shape of each space being formed from the projection of a source of light being cast upon a wall. This drawing references the citizens of both nations developing their opinions of the other only based on what their media shows them. The message portrayed is one of separation and division while in reality each is a singular face of the same coin.

#9 titled the Foundation shows the split of a singular body into two and the continued growth apart and upward to this present day. This drawing references the divided state of the Koreas and the unstable foundation between them as their cultures continue to diverge from one another, weakening shared history. Also implied within the drawing are the flagpoles located in the selected sites which fight for dominance on the horizon, each trying to build higher than the other.

#10 titled the Staircase shows the gradual rising of steps and platforms, adding higher and higher, without an end in sight. This drawing references the developments of each nation after the formalization of the split. North Korea based their government on Juche, a socialist ideology, which is focused on the pillars of political independence, economic self-sufficiency, and military self-reliance. While South Korea based their government on a centralized democratic republic with a three branch system of judicial, legislative and executive powers. Additionally, the cumulative procedure of stepping up the stairs is similar to that of stone stacking which is seen as a ritualistic, prayer activity in the history of Korea.
