Mirage de Parc
Mirage de Parc is an architectural photography series made on Yeongjongdo Island in Incheon, South Korea. The images focus on the area under the monorail station in front of the Paradise City Hotel. Natural light reflected on structures and buildings creates effects that resemble a mirage. Curved yellow lines run through the wide space and shape each composition. The photographs were taken with a 35mm camera and tilt-shift lenses over nine months, at dawn and at sunset across the seasons. The series reflects the transformation of the island.
