Park Min-ho
a former leper colony on Sorok Island, South Korea
Park Min-ho fixes shoes on Sorok Island, a place marked by its history as a leper colony. He sees beauty in wear and tear, and his precise hands know not just how to mend but how to interpret the stories told by aging materials. Struggling with sleepwalking, he sometimes finds himself waking with mysterious objects in hand, remnants of nocturnal wanderings that both trouble and inspire him.
