Symmetric World
This photo-based visual work explores symmetry as a timeless principle across Korean architecture from the 6th, 14th, and 21st centuries. Through photographic sequencing, color transitions, and sound design, the piece frames time as an experiential flow rather than a linear timeline.
Historical temples and palaces gradually fade from color into black and white, emphasizing their distance from the present. In contrast, contemporary structures—bridges and tunnels—emerge in reverse, shifting from black and white into color to mark their modern origins. Subtle sound elements, including clock ticks and triangle percussion, guide these transitions and reinforce the rhythm of time.
At its core, this work reflects my belief that while materials, technologies, and contexts change, the beauty of symmetry endures. By combining photography, editing, and sound into a single visual narrative, I aim to offer viewers a moment of calm—inviting reflection on balance, continuity, and the quiet coexistence of permanence and change.
The Starry Night
The scenery at night and day is two different stories. The same landscape during other times can reveal two very different atmospheres. Though it is not easily seen with the naked eye, with Long exposure filming, the scenery at night reveals itself in a photograph. In this photograph, the gently moving clouds can be seen. The grass and trees are a different green than what is seen during the day.
Nightscape photographs take much longer to take and develop than photographs taken during the day. However, this time consumption allows me to take more photographs that I am satisfied with and construct a portfolio that I am proud of.
