organic misunderstanding | 명료하고 간결한 오해

Daily New life.

With the power to push the coffin lid, I look at the sky.
Life is not a plot.
Rather, it is closer to patterns and fragments.


날마다 새로운 삶.
관 뚜껑을 미는 힘으로 나는 하늘을 바라본다.
삶은 플롯이 아니라 패턴과 파편에 가깝다.


While studying photography and videography, naturally I have been involved in observation and documentation for a long time. I searched for valuable stories that age with time in marginalized areas of the world rather than simply looking for heroic beauty. In order to catch the subtle dignity, you need to give it time and observe. Photographers usually press their shutter for photogenic heroes or the decisive moment of a climax. My work focuses on the slow and continuous flow of time.
