“We lift our foot from the solid ground of all our life lived thus far, and take that perilous step out into the empty air. Not because we can claim any particular courage, but because there is no other way.”

― Han Kang, 흰

Holyday is a reckoning with pain and its aftermath.

At twenty-three, I felt a part of me slip away, pale and brief -

As a shard, a fragment, a group of moments, I picked up my grandfather’s camera: I arrived upon my life as a foreigner.

Photographed over nineteen months, Holyday is a documentary project that narrates the initial navigation of life and meaning in the first years recovering from Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder.
