Temporal Layers is a meditation on Seoul’s compressed history through architecture. Each photograph isolates a building’s “face” against a clear sky, from palace woodwork to modern towers and mid-century flats. Shot on film to approach even futuristic forms through a traditional gaze, the soft analog rendering bridges eras, revealing how rapid development stacks time into one landscape where past and present coexist. The series reflects a uniquely Korean phenomenon, where within a block a medieval palace and a skyscraper stand together, capturing condensed growth.
