Antarctica
Between 2015 and 2020, I participated in three research expeditions to King George Island, located in Western Antarctica. Hosted by the King Sejong Research Station, these trips allowed me to work alongside scientific teams while documenting life and work in one of the most remote environments on Earth.
While my role was initially linked to my background in biological research, photography became central to how I engaged with the Antarctic landscape. I used the camera not only to observe but to interpret, capturing the quiet tension between isolation and resilience, the routines of the overwintering teams, and the stark, expansive terrain that surrounded us.
These experiences shaped my understanding of wilderness and remoteness in lasting ways. Antarctica remains a place I return to; visually and emotionally; in my work. It has become less a subject and more a space of reflection, where questions of solitude, adaptation, and the fragility I continue to inform my artistic practice.
