Naksan

Image not available

Description: "...Naksan is located on the east coast of the Korean peninsula. The name is taken from a beach overlooking the Sea of Japan (East Sea). This book was conceived during the heavy snow storms of February 2010. The photos are therefore characterized by details of crashing waves on the snow covered seashore. They are also dominated by a blank plane in the lower half of the image. This is where the snow has accumulated on the beach. The snow is then rendered as a singular flat surface devoid of scale or perspective. Accentuating the horizon line that cuts midway through the pictorial plane"--Publisher's description.
