An eye for sustainability.

Every game of football has a story to tell. There is drama, excitement and even sometimes an injustice that needs to be captured and shared for the world to see and understand. The world of storytelling outside football is no different. As a visual storyteller Nicky Woo, is dedicated to opening our eyes to the impact of climate change and social unrest. Join us as we get to know our number 19, her work, and what she brings to the team!

Meet Nicky.

Storytellers come in all shapes and sizes. Some use words while others use film. And then there are those who use photography to capture images that are so expressive that they affect us in ways we never knew existed. That’s Nicky Woo. Team Century’s newest member. We caught up with her to find out how she is exploring the topic of sustainability.

Q&A with Nicky Woo.

Photographs of the Hyundai Team Century member Nicky Woo.

Nicky:

I’ve learned how the themes I cover are connected to our collective impact in that, often, the stories I work on to depict the consequences of our global impact on marginalized societies.

Nicky:

Photojournalism often captures humanity in its most disatrous state, and I believe in the power that hard truth has to shift a viewer’s consciousness from apathy to consideration and, ideally, from consideration to action.

I also aspire to present stories that, while telling often difficult truths, are infused with a hopefulness the viewer can take with them.

Nicky:

It means partnering with an organization with actionable goals for fostering sustainability, which makes me feel hopeful for the future of the planet and humankind.

Nicky:

This number refers to 2019, the year I made a photography series called, “As the Water Comes”. I tried to document the rising sea levels in northern Senegal.

The series showed the devastation of coastal villages and the lives of the people who lived there. I will continue to expand on this series, particularly on the sustainable projects helping the community to live more in harmony with nature, and not having to fight against it. That’s why I chose the number 19, because it means working together to build a future for all.
