The forest is the central theme in Min's meditative photographs. In this snowy landscape from his Snow Land series, Min deconstructs the scenery into black and white lines. Filling the full frame with these entangled lines, he achieves a lyrical pattern. His landscapes share similar sensibilities to those of traditional Korean ink paintings. Min's works have been shown internationally, including FotoFest 2000 in Houston and the forthcoming exhibition Chaotic Harmony: Contemporary Korean Photography at The Museum of Fine Arts, Houston/Santa Barbara Museum of Art (fig.1) and are held in various collections, including the MFAH, the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art and the Los Angeles County Museum of Art.
