Unfamiliar places
In my daily life, I seek out quiet corners to observe the city's "metabolism" from ordinary yet seldom-noticed locations. This work attempts to capture the hidden, constant beauty in the backdrop of rapid change. It explores the relationship between native inhabitants and the rapidly developing environment and discusses the ways individuals coexist and co-evolve with this city.
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
In this rapidly evolving era, the city where I was born and reside is undergoing significant transformations at a remarkable rate. Confronted with such rapid changes, I find it increasingly challenging to adapt. The traditional concept of a cityscape and skyline no longer offers the same sense of serenity. Instead, it has become a source of anxiety, stress, and intense competition.In my daily life, I seek out quiet corners to observe the city's "metabolism" from ordinary yet seldom-noticed locations. This work attempts to capture the hidden, constant beauty in the backdrop of rapid change. It explores the relationship between native inhabitants and the rapidly developing environment and discusses the ways individuals coexist and co-evolve with this city.
