The Mirror / Kim Ga Yeon (Korea)

Message from the photographer

Ga Hye reminds me of a mirror. When I laugh, she laughs with me. When I cry, she cries with me. She is always like that for me, no matter what we do. I was happy to discover while photographing her how alike we are in many ways. I was also impressed by the way she can both laugh at things and think positively. This project was a good opportunity for me to think about myself as well. Thank you, Ga Hye.

About the subject

Ga Hye and I have been friends since middle school. She’s an important friend who has supported me through thick and thin for the last four years. So when I was thinking about whom I wanted to photograph, I immediately thought of her mischievous smile. I had a lot of fun photographing Ga Hye because she has such extraordinary ideas.
