A '67 Mustang found on a family farm reflects nostalgia and playfulness, especially as grandsons explore the vehicle. A portrait project documents a daughter's growth from birth to 18, fostering communication and patience. Another series captures pre-adolescent girls, portraying the transition between childhood and adolescence. In contrast, reflections on women in 1970s Korea showcase their struggles amidst societal expectations, including a poignant memory of a mother's sacrifice and desire for a better future in reincarnation.
In the early 1970s, it was rare for women in Korea to have careers. My mother had to take care of not only my grandparents but also my younger uncles and aunts, as well as my older sister and me, while managing all the household chores. One day I asked my mum: If reincarnation exists, what would you want to be in your next life? She answered: I don't want to be born again.
This portrait is part of a long-term project that shows our daughter's growth from birth to adulthood. We began it when she was born and completed it when she turned 18.
This series captures girls in the summer before they start secondary school, that fleeting stage between childhood and adolescence. The images reflect the mix of anticipation, vulnerability and subtle shifts in identity as they prepare for a new chapter in their lives.
