Green shadows

In the heart of Seoul, beneath the bustling façade of concrete and steel, lies a ghostly world of forgotten waterways that tell the story of the city's history. “Green Shadows” is a photographic project dedicated to documenting the rehabilitation of those ancient streams, which have emerged from their subterranean confines to reveal a surreal urban oasis. Captured exclusively at night, this photo series aims to tell the story of this eerie yet enchanting realm where trees and plants glow under the urban city lights. This nocturnal illumination creates a surreal atmosphere, transforming the familiar landscape into a strange, dreamlike environment that beckons reflection and exploration.

These revitalized waterways not only serve as tranquil retreats but also hold historical significance, connecting the small villages that once thrived before Seoul evolved into a sprawling metropolis. This project aims to highlight the delicate balance between nature and urban life, illustrating how these hidden gems serve as reminders of our collective heritage, even amidst the relentless pace of modern living.
