Jaejin Hwang

I found Hwang's series Asleep interesting. The series tries to show the ambiguous distinction between a peaceful death and falling asleep with the approach of random and natural things that occur in our daily lives. Some of the images are move obvious when it comes to determining if it is asleep or had a "peaceful death," but some left you wondering which one it could be. The tree images were the most powerful in that aspect in my opinion because of the eerie feeling they give off.
Being able to show a difference between falling asleep and a peaceful death in subtle ways is inspiring for me, based on my project on daydreams. I wanted to combine both reality with the daydream. I had a more straight forward approach to the concept where Hwang had a subtle approach.
