"Saving Beauty" is a philosophically inspired photography project that delves into the profound and complex ideas presented in Byung-Chul Han's "Saving Beauty". This project aims to reveal the evolving nature of beauty and create a visual dialogue on how beauty is perceived and understood in contemporary times. It’s a critical examination of how modern technology and culture have transformed the notion of beauty. Byung-Chul Han calls for a return to a more profound, multifaceted understanding of beauty that embraces complexity, depth, and mystery. Han urges us to reclaim the lost dimensions of beauty that inspire true appreciation and contemplation, rather than settling for the shallow and pervasive smoothness of contemporary aesthetics.
