I have been exploring the flux between the city as an organism and nature's attempts to coexist with it.
Soul is a project that deals with how nature tries to make a space for itself inside the city, specifically in Seoul's constant metropolitan expansion. This project also explores the duality of South Korean society: extraordinarily modern but very traditional, with ancestral costumes rooted in the collective imaginary.
Analog to this, the same duality is reflected in the relationship that exists between the metropolis and nature. In a city that tries to find a place for the natural in a completely artificial context. In the same way, it is a society that looks to the future from the traditional.
In the end, a question remains: Is nature fighting back, or are we getting to a place where we are fighting for her?
