Since 2019, I have been developing a series of photographic and video works focused on changing patterns of land use in South Korea. Living and working in the rural southern region of the country has allowed me to observe landscapes undergoing accelerated transformation due to industrialised agriculture, demographic change, climate pressure, and large-scale infrastructural development.
By connecting local transformations in the Korean countryside to broader global concerns surrounding climate, resource management, and ecological governance, the project seeks to expand contemporary nature photography beyond traditional representations of untouched wilderness and toward a more complex understanding of nature in the Anthropocene.
