For " Luggage " , Tokyo-based photographer Yang Seung-Woo approached homeless people in the Japanese capital and asked them to reveal their personal belongings. In the photo book, he introduces his subjects through portraits, carefully arranged photographs of the objects and items they carry, and a short profile text that includes their names, ages, birthplaces, occupations, and answers to questions “ What was your childhood dream? " And “ What is your current dream? » .

“ I always thought that the luggage they carry is filled with things that represent their lives. But when I looked inside, it wasn’t what I expected. It seems that the luggage itself is something very important.”
It is their traveling companion in life, and sometimes, their pillow. » .
