Water benefits everything and does not quarrel, hugs everything and embraces it with generous love. I walked through the garden of water and encountered the lively abstract beauty of tree shadows reflected in the water's surface. The water that met the wind blessed the tree waiting for spring, drawing a picture of unforeseen abstraction. I realized that beauty is recognizing what is already there with new eyes. For me, photography is a gift of light drawn by the wind and water by soaking it in the paint of light with a brush of time and space.

The camera is both a friend and a teacher, guiding me to discover the hidden beauty of my soul and the world. I explore my inner self and the essence of natural phenomena through nature’s abstraction. My photo is a canvas where wind and water paint fleeting pictures of light with the brush of time and space. It is the expression of my soul’s deepest thoughts and emotions. Light is a gift, and I simply capture it with gratitude. For me, photography is not about using fancy technology to manipulate a subject but about embracing it with all my heart. It is about bringing joy to what I capture.
