Photography Set #3

These are the three photographs that I want to choose for my presentation of my triptych. All three images share a common feature, the feature of abstraction, in different colors. I took the first image in a park near my compound, and there were trees lined up in geometric patterns further away, and the running/walking tracks nearer to the eye. The trees stood erect with patterns of vertical lines, and the curves of the two tracks started from the bottom of the picture and they seem like they are endless. I took the second picture at ISB when going further down the hallway near the visual arts center. The angle of the photograph reflects the endlessness of the hallway, and all lines gather together, pointing towards the same dot somewhere outside the picture, which again makes the hallway feel endless. I took the last picture last weekend when visiting a park an hour away from where I live. It was a trip to climb a mountain outside of Chaoyang, and the hill was breathtakingly beautiful. When we came down from the mountain, we visited a temple, and the photo was taken there. The line that the rock forms and the line that the trees form point to a dot outside of the photo, which makes the photo look like it is extending endlessly. Also, the photo was showered in light, which represents Uta Barth’s style.
