City Oasis Springtime Stroll
Although I have no formal training or education in any discipline of art or photography, I still have an oasis of imagination in my heart.
Photography is one of the external manifestations of my imagination as it merges with the real world.

entry description
This photograph was created by me using post-processing techniques, and all elements in the image are from the photo itself without any additional elements added. My intention was to imitate the style of ancient Chinese landscape paintings, breaking away from traditional focal perspective through the use of scattered perspective techniques. By combining the inner anxiety and frustration caused by work pressure, overtime, "involution", and life stress in modern society with the beauty of ancient Chinese landscapes, I hope to convey my personal creative vision through this work. The contrasting scenes of city green spaces and towering skyscrapers depict the fast-paced and oppressive nature of modern urban life. Although we cannot change reality, as individuals living in cities, we can still keep a small, imaginative "paradise" like the ancient Chinese philosopher, Zhuangzi, deep within our hearts.about the photographer
