In Korean, ikkibawi means βmoss-rockβ, and krrr is an onomatopoeic word. Mosses live in the thin boundary between air and soil, adapt to their surroundings despite their tiny bodies, and expand their world along other worlds. Incorporating the survival tactics of moss into their projects and attitudes, the collective hopes to circulate its practice beyond individual projects and extend the boundary layer between life and art.
