Why do I take pictures?
Photography is a holy and humble record of history and humanity. If it is not recorded, no one will remember it. And if there is no record, they make an argument for each other's imagination. For a long time, I have been shooting with a focus on humans and rituals. Due to the development of modernization and civilization around the world, the native culture originally brought by humans is rapidly disappearing. The filming approach is attempted with ethnographic images. I am researching and filming the rituals, folklore, festivals and religious secrets of Korea, Japan, Nepal, Indonesia, Bali, Ladakh, and North India.
