Rev   Seoungo Cho

Rev is the final part of a trilogy which examines identity within an urban environment, envisioning the frenetic dissonance of an urban landscape at once alienating and poetic. 

The aggressive pace of pedestrian traffic is portrayed in a blurred and highly saturated manner. A candle flame waves back and forth, suggesting private reflection within the accelerated urban experience. - Seoungho Cho
