This series documents one of the largest protests of former, and eventually impeached, South Korean President Park Geun-hye. The images capture protesters using installations to show the number of children that died in the Sewol ferry disaster, the lack of trust in the president, and the peaceful solidarity of a massive crowd. It is both a tragedy and a successful example of a community expressing themselves.
