My latest exhibition, ๐ฅ๐ข๐บ๐ญ๐ช๐จ๐ฉ๐ต, ๐ฅ๐ข๐บ๐ญ๐ช๐จ๐ฉ๐ต, opened on Saturday, March 4, 2023 at ์์์ฐฝํฐํ๊ฒฝ๊ฐค๋ฌ๋ฆฌ. A huge thank you to my friend Hank Haddock for thinking of me and getting me my first showing outside of Busan. Iโm truly thankful for the opportunity.โฃ โฃ
This exhibition will only be up for a week, but I am currently working to show this work again in Busan very soon. The collection can also be seen on my website.

Ilgwang (์ผ๊ด) in Busan, South Korea and Nikko in Japan share the same Chinese character (ๆฅๅ ), which roughly translates to โdaylight”. Japanese companies ran copper mines in both cities of the same name. โฃDuring the period of Japanese occupation, some Koreans were relocated to work in Nikko or stayed to work in Ilgwang. โฃThe now deserted mine still stands as a living memory of labor exploitation amongst those who still live in the village.โฃ
These images were taken between 2019 and 2023 and inspired by Nari SEENโs 2018 documentary entitled, ๐๐ฉ๐ฆ ๐๐ถ๐ด๐ต.
