Jiyul, a Buddhist nun and environmental activist, has since 2011 used photography to document life around the area with the Yeongju dam is being constructed off of the Naeseong Stream, a tributary of the Nakdong River in North Gyeongsang Province. Jiyul photographed life in the area that will be flooded, and posted the photos in a collage on large containers, which were installed in the area. Jiyul says that all of the life depicted in her photos will be destroyed once the dam is complete. (by Kim Bong-gyu, staff photographer)
