Over the past 40 years, Korea has undergone rapid development, which has led to
various social consequences. One of the most notable is the culture of long working
hours and extremely short breaks. During holidays, Koreans do their best to enjoy
their time off, but due to limited time, they often stay close to the city.
I take a step back to observe leisure spaces and the people within them—framing
scenes slowly and waiting for moments where complex elements come into balance.
This series reflects aspects of Korea’s “fast-paced lifestyle” and “community-based
trust”. It reveals how people adapt to their circumstances, find joy together, and strive
for coexistence.
