Dream of a Willow Tree is a folklore written during the height of Covid-19. The folklore references Samguk Yusa, a text written in 13th-Century CE recounting Korea’s premodern history through layered mythological prose. Appropriating the language of the older text, Dream of a Willow Tree explores contemporary issues of unprecedented natural disasters, class systems, and violence.
