Beyond the Tide: Josu Neomeo follows Lena, a female Black photographer studying in Busan, South Korea, as she embarks on a year-long journey of personal growth and cross-cultural discovery. Each chapter represents a week in her transformative experience, capturing the challenges, celebrations, and quiet moments of reflection that shape her understanding of both herself and the world. Through language lessons, deepening friendships, and the lens of her camera, Lena explores themes of resilience, identity, and cultural exchange, forging connections with locals and fellow travelers along the way. Her photography serves as a silent narrator, capturing the emotional depth of her journey and the beauty of Busan’s landscape, while the story weaves together oceanic imagery, traditional Korean motifs, and messages of mutual respect, understanding, and the power of shared experiences.
