'Scattering' is a limited edition photography book about crow feeding rituals on Jeju Island in South Korea. As part of their shamanic faith residents of Jeju Island leave portions of food for scavenging animals, especially crows. Over five years, I documented the special relationship between people and large-billed crows in the village of Darakut. While this relationship is likely hundreds of years old, the ritual feeding of birds dates at least back to ancient societies such as Egypt and Vedic India. It is even depicted on the murals uncovered at Pompei. 'Scattering' explores ritualistic bird-feeding in South Korea and its profound implications.
