Kim Hae-jin
a shipping container yard in Busan, South Korea
Kim Hae-jin, 42, is a funeral home cosmetologist who lives in a shipping container yard on the fringes of Busan harbor. She begins her day navigating the metallic maze of containers, a journey that feels both fleeting and permanent. Her nights are spent with echoes of work and the looming threat of displacement from the yard she calls home.
