The Sea Ageing, Faster Than Women Divers
I asked the haenyeo, Samchun. "Until when are you going to work?" Samchun replied. "I want to do it until when, but the sea will not be older than me. I thought the number of haenyeo would decrease and there would be a lot to catch in the sea, but the sea is getting older as the world develops."
The artist spent 10 years with the haenyeo in Onpyeong-ri, listening to their lives, recording the sea they have been working on, and adding the current scene to express the sea pollution contained in the haenyeo's expression, "The sea is getting old," and the changes in the sea from 10 years ago to the present through videos, photos, and writings.
