"I have been creating portraits of unmade beds at love hotels in Seoul. Lovers often use the hotels to carry on secret affairs, I visit the rooms just after they have departed. The photographs are personal reflections on the passage of time and the ephemeral nature of love. Absence inspires imagination and nostalgia, and what is secret or forbidden seems authentic in a way, because it actively questions and resists the status quo, rather than remaining complacent."
