photos of grief
taken at my father’s hometown, 삼척, samcheok
on the eastern coast of corea
a small fishing village
half of which has been turned into a tourist destination +
an army base occupied by the u.s.
“작은후진 (/ja-geun hu-jin/) is where cold water meets warm water. my heart hearts. so much has changed. so many of the sealife is gone. the land has changed. the trees are gone. the coast is no longer the same.”
-
a green/blue tinted lino print of the donghae (east sea), replicated from photos of the sea from samcheok (작은후진)
-
faded, overprocessed film photos of various parts of samcheok, glimpses of 아빠, my father, spread throughout.
“the government has been chopping down the trees as they like and taking our land for little to nothing in compensation”
