Statement

Where is your identity?

I came to the city in pursuit of uniqueness, to find out what I was. However, recently, I've been doubting that the "me" that I had imagined in my mind is not really me. When I looked at the countryside of my hometown while thinking about such doubts, I felt as if it was telling me that it was okay to become more vulnerable.

Jury selection

Nature’s branching, flow, form.
The designs and shapes that are inherent in landscapes always teach us something.

The quiet and solitude we feel from this work seems like a nostalgic portrait of a nameless person.

While the artwork contained some self-questioning statements about originality, this keen perspective was firmly present in the photographs.
