In Ulsan, fire becomes a way of remembering. This project follows the restoration of Soeburi, Korea’s traditional iron-smelting practice, where ore, charcoal, heat, and labour are brought together to produce iron. I was drawn not only to the moment when metal appears, but to the long process before it: the preparation of the furnace, the rhythm of bodies, and the uncertainty of working with fire. In a modern industrial city, this act of restoration becomes more than a cultural event. It is a fragile attempt to reconnect labour, memory, and material history.
