    Gold in Fine Art/Other

In this series of images, I have posed street-cast young Korean women dressed in the traditional Hanbok against a backdrop of its modern austere capital city, Seoul. The setting illustrate the country’s history, the political tensions between South and North Korea, and its cultural traditions, such as the tea ceremony and gift giving.
