You try to capture that fleeting moment of emotions flowing through you without fully understanding them. These pictures try to preserve that moment through the medium of photography, and represent my personal interaction with Korea, where they were taken. This unexpected flow of feelings in the instant before releasing the shutter informs my experience with the world and defines who I am as a person. These images of South Koreas plain and unadorned fringes peer into the depths of human solitude. They imagine peoples unconscious striving to come to terms with their loneliness by facing up to the human condition squarely, steadfastly, serenely. \n Jong Won Rh.
