The Taebaek Mountains

You wake in a mountain village where land deeds hide deeper debts. Then night soil carts block the road and a funeral procession collapses into fistfights. Im’s camera follows the ink along paper trails until the past rides home on a borrowed horse. Takes the 1930s drought and turns it into a ledger of grudges.
