Image description

South Korean female artist Lee Hae-jin, a university art major, works on her masterpiece as she participates in a wooden penis sculpture contest in the east coast fishing village of Samchok March 3. The contest has its roots in a 400-year-old local ritual in which villagers sculpted penises and threw them into the sea to appease the spirits of drowned women. This is only the second year the event has been open to any artist wishing to participate and the mayor of Samchok, Kim Il-dong, is hoping artists from around the world will participate in future penis sculpture contests.
