TOY CITY

In Seoul, skyscrapers once felt suffocating, like walls enclosing me. Through photography, I reimagined them—flattened into playful, geometric patterns. What once oppressed me became light and rhythmic. This work reflects my search to face urban reality not with fear, but with freedom and joy.
