It’s a story about a 'beautiful mind.' I approached it by dividing it into two concepts: creating those moments and discovering them. If Souvenirs is a collection of things I created with an affectionate mind, then A Kind Garden captures the moments I felt a '\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003ebeautiful mind' through someone else's consideration.\" \u003c\/em\u003e-Photographer An Sangmi\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"6\"\u003e\u003ci data-index-in-node=\"0\" data-path-to-node=\"6\"\u003eSouvenirs\u003c\/i\u003e is a photobook that records An Sangmi’s unique version of mementos—remembering cities through everyday objects rather than famous landmarks. Even amidst her packed monthly schedule of photo shoots, deadlines, and business trips, she never stopped carving out time for herself to discover and seek out the beauty in the world.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"7\"\u003e\u003cem\u003e\"I usually love looking at fruits and vegetables. When I look closely at their differing colors, densities, and atypical shapes, they look so cute that they make me smile. Especially when traveling, if I spot exotic fruits or vegetables, I buy the ones that caught my eye the most that day. The moment I bring them back to my hotel room, they cease to be mere ingredients and turn into objets d'art.\"\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"12\"\u003e\u003ci data-index-in-node=\"0\" data-path-to-node=\"12\"\u003eSouvenirs\u003c\/i\u003e views everyday objects through a lens that is sometimes mischievous, playful, and deeply warm. It captures the artist’s bright and cheerful perspective, showing how objects and scenes we might easily pass by can hold memories and emotions to blossom into a world of their own. Through this photobook, we hope you can encounter the small, beautiful world that An Sangmi has built.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"7\"\u003eSouvenirs: Seen \u0026amp; Left\u003cbr\u003eAn Sangmi\u003cbr\u003eFirst Edition\u003cbr\u003ePublished in May 2026\u003cbr\u003eAll Photographs © An Sangmi\u003cbr\u003ePublished by THE PHRASE\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"7\"\u003e--\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"4\"\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003cem\u003eThe Phrase is a creative studio based in Seoul, helming an independent bookstore that features a curated selection of magazines and art books across fashion, photography, and design.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"The Phrase","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46151506362425,"sku":"THEPHRA2","price":98.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0724\/3602\/3353\/files\/20260508-souvenirs-01.jpg?v=1783786362","url":"https:\/\/www.nogemnyc.com\/products\/souvenirs-by-an-sangmi","provider":"No Gem","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
