I’m Arthur I’m from South Korea / UK, I came here because I was looking for a fresh start.

Being in Lisbon feels like home right now.  Nowhere is perfect but sometimes you have to make a decision and stick with it. So I decided to come to Portugal in 2022 and stayed here ever since.

My photographs in this exhibition are focused on finding calm, balanced compositions amid the chaos of the city context. Some are taken in the countryside – like the horses photo but mostly these are taken in the city of Lisbon and Cascais. When it comes to “street” photos I am not going out with any particular goals I just shoot what I see. Intentionality only comes when doing studio work or when other people are involved.

I did not specifically go out and try to find the photos to match the scene, the photos I’ve taken over my time living in Portugal are naturally reflective of someone exploring and growing into their new home.

Home is not somewhere you just find, but the place you make a conscious choice to stay and persevere through both the good and bad times.
