    Honorable Mention

Deep, deep in the woods. Where there’s no sign of humanity, the space itself begins to rotate around with the everlasting piles of time as its axis, and gathering of unevenness makes one vast harmony. Taken with wet plate process, the image of a forest is printed in the darkroom, then cut into 30 pieces. Then, they are boiled in the soup of soils from the forest, and reconstructed to express my experience. Welcome to the forest of unevenness made by deconstruction and recomposing.
