Seungwon Yang majored in photography at Seoul Institute of the Arts and received her master's degree in fine arts from Chelsea College of Arts, University of the Arts London. He creates pseudo-images that blur the boundaries between reality and fabrication using digital images, exploring the possibilities of extending the field of epistemology and photography. He is currently working on revealing hidden aspects of contemporary society, disrupting the taken-for-granted process of perception, and the process of recognizing situations or landscapes that individuals face in modern society. He also captures the heterogeneity created at the intersection of reality and fiction in an expanded concept. He questions the landscapes of harsh reality resulting from a superficial understanding of regions and places, and the differences in materiality visible in the gap between nature and imitation. He has held solo exhibitions at various venues, including N/A (2022), Seoul Museum of Art SeMA Storage (2021), Hite Collection (2019), and SongEun ArtCube (2018).

Seungwon Yang's <Covered Moment> showcases images he captured last winter in Cheongyang. His photographs, which faithfully capture these scenes, elicit admiration for their clarity and visual grandeur, even from those who have not visited the site. However, the moment one realizes that humans artificially mimic these spectacles and that such acts are somewhat cruel, the images begin to feel chilling. 
In recent years, Seungwon Yang has been exploring the boundary between the real and the fake through photography. He presents images that provoke thought about the relationship between real spaces and fake spaces, or real objects and fake objects, eliciting a sense of irony from the ambiguous boundary between authenticity and imitation. Through this, he aims to highlight how the sociocultural essence of the places we live in and the materials we enjoy today is becoming diluted, distorted, and ambiguous.
