17. Breath, the beginning of a letter

The letter "ㅎ" originates from the flow of air. This consonant, the most "empty" in both sound and form, can therefore hold even more stories. It's the sculptural form of a single letter placed within nature. Wind blows through its empty center, and the world peers through its gaps. This photograph speaks to the idea that Hangul is not just a language, but breath and space.
