It is so beautiful to see a family looking at each other with loving eyes. We expected that the appearance of mother and father reflected in the eyes of the child at that time, and the appearance of Suwon Hwaseong Fortress, would have been like this photo.

Looking at the walls of Hwaseong Fortress and modern architecture in one view, we think about the time that Hwaseong Fortress has gone through in Suwon. And imagine the past, present and future unfolding in the same place. The story yeonseo_kim told, makes us think again about the place where we are standing. Suwon Hwaseong Fortress, where the past and the present coexist, when we walk around Suwon Hwaseong Fortress, we often feel a certain déjà vu. Is déjà vu a sense of time when the present will become the past? It is a valuable article that inspires new ideas about place and time.

Huchuchu, who selected the building category, he calmly and warmly captured the scenery of Hwaseo Park and what he felt when he saw ‘Seobukgaknu’.
((A short message about the selected works))
One day, Hwaseo Park was still hot even though it was autumn. It was impressive to see them enjoying the place with swaying reeds and singing grass bugs. A road that passes like a habit, they’re photos and writings where we can feel the little joy that you find in an ordinary day. And it was a story that touched the heart with a small interest in always remembering the name of the building there. It makes us think again about how many things we pass through in our daily lives.
