Nothing, But Everything

  2019

The inspirations of photographs originate from classical Chinese philosophy. I try to utilize the way of abstraction to fusing cultural principles from China and the West to demonstrate my concept of Harmony. The photograms I’m creating have variable perceptions underlying the individual’s experiences. There is no tangible subject in my photographs. The “Image” is the essence of the light. For another, the light is not only the unique element in my photographs, but also the indispensable element of photography.
