“My practice focuses on the theme of existentialism. I investigate sites of neglect throughout the city and consolidate fragmented and diasporic images. As people move through life it seems like they are on repeat mode, working every day to find and understand the meaning of life, yet most people cannot find the answer in their whole lifetime. With a sense of meaninglessness in our everyday boredom, isolation and neglect, my work strives to reconcile such sites through my photographs. By the end of a day, happiness and sadness are two sides of a coin, they are equally heavy. To express this theme, most of my work is looking at an idea that I have been very much drawn to, which is a state called the “neutral zone”- a place that’s in between. I see polarizing, yet poetic silence in these images, where its expressionless and neutered facades demand to be heard. As a relatively obscure medium, poetry is an important part of my work. I use text to lay the basic emotions, the role of photography is to visualize these emotions. All the elements are subtle enough, the looming perception prevents most viewers from receiving the information conveyed by the work directly. The experience of the audience-this "ambiguity" is also part of the work that I intend to express.”
