This transformation in relation is evident in Dongdongju, a traditional Korean rice wine whose name itself provides insights into the brewing process and its distinctive visual and sensory characteristics. In Korean, “dongdong” (동동) refers to the floating grains or particles seen in the liquid. This term captures a key visual feature of Dongdongju, where bits of rice or sediment are suspended in the drink.

From the initial mixing and fermentation to the final bottling, the “dongdong” (동동) aesthetics manifest in the fashioning of the Summersnowglobe. This sound symbolism, specifically a uitaeo (의태어), effectively illustrates the performative aspect of Summersnowglobalism, suggesting the unique interplay between phenomenological experiences of things coming together and cultural symbolism.
