For four weeks on Fridays, I travelled to a place unheard-of to complete a course program under unideal circumstances. Yet, I was grateful for the experience.

This photo series comes from a moment of reflection while I was waiting for the train along with hundreds of people at Seoul Station. "I am not the only one here." Each individual had somewhere to be for various reasons, just like me. This slight change in perspective made me appreciate the unexpectedness of life just a little more.

Last day of the program. Last early morning.

I never noticed the outside of the station until the last day.

I got the idea for the title Sonder from this picture. Thank you, random passerby.
