photographer Agnes Dherbeys was born in South Korea and adopted into a French family. She travels to the heart of Korea's traditional homeland, to Jeollabuk-do's Jeonju, Wanju, and Sunchang.
Agnes discovers local performance at the Jeonju International Sori Festival, tastes classic bean sprout stew in Nambu Market, and learns about the beauty of handmade fans from a dying breed of artisan. At Wanju's Wild Food Festival she is taken to 1970s Korea, before being swept into a village known for its modern take on jangseung totem poles.
Though the generations have changed, the beauty of the Korean spirit remains the same. Agnes journeys to Jeollabuk-do in search of the meaning behind Korean.
