2012, Snapshot

My daily photographs

For me, daily life is not simply a record of ordinary moments. It is a time to look more carefully at the themes that have continued to exist in my everyday life and in my photography.

Among those themes, “distance” has been one of the longest-running subjects in my work. In Korean, the word geori can mean both “distance” and “street.” That overlap has always made the idea more meaningful to me, because distance is not only something measured between places or people, but also something found in the streets we walk through every day.

The photographs from 2012 are part of that continuing reflection. Through these images, I wanted to think more deeply about daily life, familiar streets, and the quiet distances that exist within ordinary moments.

These photographs were taken by Hyunhwan Aiden Lee in 2012.
