    Honorable Mention in Architecture / Buildings

This photograph captures the GT Tower in Seoul, transforming a rigid corporate skyscraper into a fluid, living sculpture. Shot from a dramatic low angle converted to monochrome, the image strips away color to emphasize the mesmerizing, wave-like rhythm of the facade. It explores the intersection of man-made geometry and organic flow, portraying modern architecture not just as a static structure, but as a dynamic entity rising into the sky

I am a photographer based in South Korea focused on capturing what I call 'urban impressions.' My work centers on the geometric rhythm of cities — repeating patterns interrupted by a single color or form — and the dramatic interplay of light and shadow cast by their structures. I'm equally drawn to the overlooked and ordinary: quiet spaces and objects that others tend to pass by, an eye that has become something of a signature. I'm also increasingly drawn to capturing people within these scenes, adding a human element to the pattern. My primary genres are architectural/abstract and still life
