The Apocalypse of Mary Magdalene
It could also indicate the struggle in the collective human's souls, in the seesaw battles between "Humanity and Beastliness", "Goodness and Evil" and "Moral and Degeneration".
As a digital visual artist, I create images that extract the most exquisite elements deep inside my heart, my mind and my soul. My art works reflect my senses of aesthetics and views of philosophy, rather than only record the explicitly observable phenomenal world. That is to say: "I feel, I think, so I create."
Most of the time, I rely on my instincts for creation. I intend to catch the evanescent moments and depict the essence of eternity from transience through photography. Besides the characters of impromptu delights, my digital art works are unbounded by existing forms and structure, and freely blend of western and oriental cultural elements. Some of them are endowed with metaphysical poetry.

entry description
This series is inspired by the allusion of "Mary Magdalene" from Bible. It symbolizes the transition of female roles in our history (from the images of "abandoned, fallen or fatal" to "neutral, respectable, or spiritual").It could also indicate the struggle in the collective human's souls, in the seesaw battles between "Humanity and Beastliness", "Goodness and Evil" and "Moral and Degeneration".
