불쾌 (Malaise) is a work of street fiction, unfolding through a collection of photographs captured in 2017 in the vibrant urban landscapes of Seoul and Busan, South Korea. The series delves into the pervasive disquietude accompanying life in contemporary, densely populated Asian metropolises.
It illuminates the nuanced ways in which the local populace navigates and copes with this underlying unease - whether it's through gastronomic experiences, distractions of commerce, communal engagement through games, the search for solace in religion or the allure of losing themselves in the nightlife. Each frame unveils a unique facet of the human response to the challenges posed by these bustling cityscapes.
