Korea 2019 -
2019 - ongoing. Initially started because I wanted to take photos of my friends while living in a new country for the first time, it became documentation of a particular moment in a particular place. Through this project, I think about self and place not as static categories, but as processes of being and becoming that are mutually co-constitutive. As gentrification and neoliberal policies incentivize development that prioritizes the growth of capital at the expense of under- compensated workers, historically underserved communities, the idiosyncrasies of these neighborhoods become effaced. These photos are a record of my subjectivity as a U.S. national in Seoul navigating queer and trans space.
