Description

Beauty, laughter, exuberance and shyness are revealed through simple gestures and glances. To look at a surprised or bemused expression on a face and to record that expression through the camera entails a certain amount of staring. To record=to stare. In the poetic sense, this stare permits the recreation of a moment in time, allowing memory to once again become present.

Recorded at the Shilla Royal Tombs in Kyongju, South Korea
