The palace of memory
Work: Photography
Date:2021-2022

I spent my childhood in a town surrounded by mountains and water, surrounded by the open grandeur and clear and distant mood of ancient Chinese landscape paintings. Currently, I have been living in the city for more than a decade, but the sense of alienation from the city still lingers. It dawns on me that the intimacy with nature in my early childhood is like a butterfly effect that incites all perceptions of life in the future.

So I went back to the place where I lived as a child, and the stories that used to happen surfaced in the space, transforming my hazy memories into weighty visualized language. The images are based on several experiences from my childhood, combining photography and words to express the awareness of life elements in nature at a tender age.

I want to display a poetic space that is quiet, mysterious, and full of tension. This is my path to my own self and my first acquaintance with the world, a path of purity and power.
