The phonetic translation for the word “pretty” in Korean,
YE-PPEU-DA (예쁘다) is a photo project that explores and exposes
the common beauty of our bodies that often go unnoticed.
We rarely appreciate our bodies for what they are
at their most raw state.
Intentionally shot in black and white
to eliminate any potential distractions,
may the viewer find beauty
in the subtleties of our bodies.
The wrinkles on our feet;
the curves of our muscles;
the misplacement of loose hair strands;
the twinkle in our eyes. 아름다워라.
