SYNOPSIS

What does it mean to care for a being that has nothing to do with you? How can we explain spending one’s youth in a rural mountain valley, enduring hardship to care for wild animals that, unlike pets, will never grow close to humans? Where We Stay for a While is a story about bile bears, raised in a steel cage barely 3.3 square meters in size since birth, and of the four women who work there.

DIRECTING INTENTION

This project follows the journey of those who are building and running a sanctuary for bile bears. By focusing on the daily lives of four young female activists who have made a farm in Hwacheon their home, I hoped to reveal the personal dedication and struggles that lie beneath the broader discourse about environmental and animal welfare.
