Works to view together

Sea Village
A sea village is where sea and land divide the work of sustaining life.

The Shore and the Pony
The closer the bond, the fewer the words. This quiet is the everyday life of Jeju.

The Shore and the Pony
Dried-grass colour is not nature's surface colour, but the colour left by life exhausted through waiting.

Haenyeo
Depth does not come from darkness alone, but from long endurance and weathering.

Plowing
Dried-grass colour is the living colour that remains after life has endured for a long time.

Sunset
Depth appears when several times are allowed to remain together within one pale light.
