THE MOST DREAMLIKE PLACE EVER
Series of photographs
Late at night, on the way home, I stared towards the dark side between buildings that the street lights did not reach.
우리나라 맞음 주의

음식, 날씨, 냄새, 교통, 의사소통.. 모든 것이 최악인데, 모든 것이 최고였던 일본보다 중국이 좋은 이유는 풀리지 않는 미스테리
The Spaces : Mothers of Korea, 2013
이 작업은 ‘공간, 분위기, 사소한 물건을 살펴보면 인물의 내면을 알 수 있다.’ 라는 주제로 쓰인 샘 고슬링의 책에서 출발했다. 거실 한 켠에 걸린 가족사진, 아들이 벗어던진 소파 위 가방, 미소짓는 늙은 개, 그리고 새벽 6시의 태양을 맞이하는 마른 논에 그들의 이야기가 담겨 있다. 어느덧 시간은 그녀들을 50대로 이끌었고 그녀들에게는 어머니라는 이름이 붙여졌다. 하지만 우리는 변하지않는 소녀이자, 여인이며, 각자의 삶의 결을 지닌 사람이다.
“What your stuff says about you; reveals how intensely connected we are to the places in which we live and work.” Psychologist Sam Gosling said in his book. My work also embraces the same point of view.
A backpack thrown on the sofa by a son, an old smiling dog, and a rice field at dawn implies that everyone has a story. Figures in my work progress from being female to become a wife or mother. I tried to find their true identity in relation to their individual locations behind the names they were given.
This project was selected and won a prize, “A Picture of the Month,” from the Monthly Photo Art Magazine in November 2016.
Documentary photography in Gwanghwamun
I was a teenager when I took this photograph, and it shows my earliest interest in people and Korean society. Gwanghwamun has become my favorite place in Seoul over time because it is always full of people who are protesting, speaking out, and letting their thoughts be known.
I was on my way to school, but as I passed through Gwanghwamun, I noticed a large crowd. I wasn't sure what was going on at first, but I soon realized that all of these mourners had gathered for the former president's funeral. I got off the bus and took a photo of the massive crowd waving goodbye.
