'where, in what form, we will meet again' reflects on impermanence and transformation through the quiet observation of cherry blossoms. Since 2018, I have photographed cherry trees in various weather conditions and stages of bloom, capturing the subtle transitions as blossoms emerge, peak, and dissolve into memory.
The series draws inspiration from 'In the Night' by Korean poet Kim Gwang-Seop, whose words evoke the essence of fleeting encounters and the quiet traces that linger after parting. Rooted in traditional Chinese poetry and Eastern philosophy, this work meditates on the delicate balance between presence and absence, growth and decay—questioning how the forms we once knew return to us, altered yet familiar.
Blossoms drift through time, appearing and vanishing in cycles, reminding us that what fades does not disappear but transforms. Through this series, I hope to express the quiet beauty found in impermanence—the ways in which life and memory intertwine, dissolving and reshaping, where, in what form, we will meet again.
