“Loved, Accepted, Seen rooted in my experience of leukemia, the work considers how love and care become tangible through small objects, and how the concern of others shapes my awareness of vulnerability. Rather than framing cancer only through tragedy, the project turns to its quieter emotional dimensions, including friendship, protection, hope, and acceptance. It asks how illness can also be understood through love.”

Carson Weifenglong Yang is a Toronto-based Chinese Canadian photographer and artist whose practice spans portraiture, conceptual, and documentary photography. At the core of his work is a deep concern for emotion and feeling, how they are expressed, perceived, and carried between individuals. Rather than seeking agreement from viewers, Carson creates images that invite reflection on the self and the changing world around us.Drawing from Eastern philosophical and spiritual traditions, his work considers the subtle relationships between human experience, perception, nature, and everyday life. For Carson, the value of art lies in its ability to spark thought and open a quiet dialogue between the image, the viewer, and the world it reflects.
