Gerbera

A farm near Ilsan is preparing to move due to the development of a new city. Myung-jun and Eun-hye want to harvest the best of their harvest, even though they failed at farming and the gerberas they worked hard to grow were returned. They go around to neighboring farms to say hello, but for some reason, they leave painful words one by one.

Recently, the nationwide push to lift greenbelt protections has accelerated. As cities like Tokyo and Los Angeles demonstrate, once greenbelts disappear, both people and nature can be squeezed out by relentless urban sprawl. I wanted to explore how, in our rush to reconnect with nature, we’re often denied the time to learn and grow through trial and error.​​​
