Label TextWho I am is not always who I want to be.
A young girl working at Baskin Robbins in Seoul dreams of going to the Arctic. The artist helped her realize her dream in the photographs. He photographed her twice: once in her daily job at the ice cream shop, wearing a pink apron and sweeping the floor, and again transported to an Arctic-like snowy place, dressed in a fur coat and fur pants. The title, Bewitched, alluding to the popular 1960s American sitcom, expresses the artist’s intention of transforming ordinary lives into personal fantasies through the magic of photography.
