Korean photographer Bohnchang Koo creates wonderfully quiet, elegant photographs in two related series, Vessel and Interiors. The photo above shows a detail of a ceramic vessel from the Joseon Dynasty (1392-1910), which was a long period of relative peace and prosperity in Korea, guided in large part by Confucian ideals and doctrine.

Bohnchang Koo's work is featured in a solo exhibition in Paris through October 10. See more photos here in Lens Culture.
