EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the essence of urban mining at a plant in Gunsan, South Korea. In the image, recycled cobalt sulfate takes center stage as it sits unrecognizable in a dustbin. The interior of the plant is bustling with real people, their hands protected by rubber gloves, diligently working to give this discarded material a new lease on life. A worker's hand can be seen holding a blade, skillfully maneuvering through layers of powder-like cobalt sulfate. This creative use of recycling showcases the ingenuity and determination behind repurposing materials that would otherwise end up in landfills. The vibrant orange color of the cobalt sulfate stands out against the backdrop of loose foil scattered around. The employee's actions speak volumes about their commitment to sustainability and environmental responsibility. The composition offers ample copy space for viewers to reflect on the importance of recycling and its impact on our planet. It serves as a reminder that even seemingly insignificant materials can be transformed into valuable resources through innovative processes like urban mining. Kim Hong-Ji masterfully captures this scene without mentioning any specific company or commercial use, allowing us to focus solely on appreciating this remarkable example of human effort towards creating a more sustainable future.
