On a black sand beach in Iceland, a piece of glacial ice rests quietly, shaped like a small traveler. As the light fades and the sea waits ahead, it feels as if the ice is slowly finding its way back home.

Chan Kim founded and ran a music company for over two decades before turning his focus back to photography, a lifelong interest. His work explores travel, people, and nature, seeking fleeting moments along the way.
