Land of Buddhism
What I find is inner and calm. The essence of this place is contained in these ordinary scenery.
I regard my walking here as a kind of writing behavior with haiku characteristics, just a pure photographic transmission of cultural symbols with profound connotations here.
I am a Chinese college student, self-taught in photography.
I think photography is the magnifying glass of life. It magnifies the scene we see, amplifies the nature of the object in the picture and links it with other objects. In front of the picture. People Understand what history is like Understand what life is and what love is.
What is the relationship between people and the environment in this era? I think, explore, walk on the street, walk on the edge of the city. Holding the camera in my hand, I feel the story behind each tall building, the traces of time on the street. The camera in my hand broke the surface limit and condensed countless stories between the shutters. I think I recorded history and told stories.

entry description
The project "Land of Buddhism" was shot in Wutai Mountain, China, which is known as the holy land of Buddhism. Due to the 2000-year Buddhist history here, I regard this place as a book with many chapters. Look for scenery with the nature of "beginning" or "end" in this land. Look for clues related to culture, land, and life.What I find is inner and calm. The essence of this place is contained in these ordinary scenery.
I regard my walking here as a kind of writing behavior with haiku characteristics, just a pure photographic transmission of cultural symbols with profound connotations here.
