A ROOM OF ONE'S OWN

• Photographer
  JIWON KIM, Korea, Republic of

"A Room of One's Own" is inspired by an extended essay by
Virginia Woolf. The mirrors in each photograph are represent a
room of a different individual's mind. And those images that I
drew are depicted as their true emotions, thoughts, or
characteristic. We all have our own rooms that no one else can
see through. However, people like to steal a glance at other
people's room and judge them even though it was just a
reflection of their prejudice. Through this work of art, I want the
audiences to have a chance to think of the terrifying power of
thoughtless remarks and irresponsible criticism that we have
done to others anonymously. Also I want people to look into
themselves and reflect on them before they judge someone else.
