Lee Nam-sook
a former leper colony on Sorok Island, South Korea
Lee Nam-sook was born into a world that whispers the stories of past isolations. The ceremonial clinks of clinics and the rhythmic clatter of poultry plants are more than everyday soundtracks; they're a life source, a secret language. Nam-sook's nights aren't solemn but etched with engineered silences designed to embrace a fervent necessity for community among the remnants of a forgotten colony.
