The hidden magic in plain sight:

The message of my triptych will inspire the audience to see the beautiful architecture, the texture of them to be specific, hidden beneath the sight. In our daily lives, we are always swamped with work, and even if we can relax, we spend time on our electronic devices; thus, my triptych would encourage people to see, observe, and appreciate the world around us. Many people, in this case, would believe nature would be the best option for us to lock our eyes on – which I do not disagree with but wish to address a different claim; I believe the buildings, the paintings, the remnants of past(the textures), ancient or not, are the most gorgeous things and we should give it the respect and attention it deserves. Therefore, in this case, I wish the audience, after seeing my presentation, would have an entirely different perspective on those common traits of society in our daily lives. For my presentation, instead of trying to evoke a sense of structure, imposingness, and order like other artists often do, I would try my best to depict a world and take images that are intentionally captured to include elements of haphazard, chaotic, and messy, but presents the order and structure and the imposingness of them hidden beneath the surface to the audiences. Looking at the pictures, despite the element of order, structure, and imposingness under the look of haphazard, chaotic, and messy, I would also like to evoke a sense of disoriented beauty in the pictures, leading to a feeling of fascination and combining with the awe that comes from the imposingness I also tried to evoke, eventually leading toward the complexed but simple feeling of “awe” towards the world, the buildings surrounding us in daily. In my research, I would find photographers who focus on the countryside and the daily, “ordinary” architecture surrounding us and explore the vast universe of the beauty and lies beneath – the things that we scan through with our eyes and ignore. In simple words, I wish to find abstract photographers who see the world differently and explore the magic architecture possesses. We need to see the world around us more and notice its beauty instead of spending our free time on our devices.
