Artistic statement #1:

Title: Rend

I hope my audience can deeply feel a profound sense of vulnerability and a calm yet intense atmosphere when watching my works. It was as if they stood silently beside, witnessing a deeply private and intimate moment that gradually broke through the suffocating darkness. The narrow beam passing through torn plastic is not just a beam of light; It symbolizes more. It represents exposure, the act of revealing hidden things to the public, and at the same time, it represents hope. It’s like something primitive and beautiful, something pure and uncontaminated, slowly emerging from the enclosed space that once bound it.

In addition, I will also delve into the image of creating a sharp contrast between soft and dazzling light. Soft light can evoke a gentle and comfortable feeling, while dazzling light can bring a harsh or enlightening feeling. By juxtaposing these two, I hope to add another layer of complexity to my work. In addition, I will continue to use materials such as plastic, but in more innovative ways. I want to explore how plastic distorts or filters reality in emotionally powerful ways. Perhaps by creating unique textures, distorting the subject’s perspective, or diffusing light in unexpected ways, I can further enhance the emotional resonance of photos, making them not only visual enjoyment but also carriers of deep emotions.

Artistic statment #2: 

Title: Psycho

I want my audience feel a sense of psychological tension and dreamlike confusion, as if they were peering into the layered complexity of human thinking. By using overlapping images with different levels of transparency, I aim to evoke inner conflicts, blurred memories, and unforgettable introspective emotions.

I will gain inspiration and develop my ideas by searching for photos that depict surreal compositions, emotional depth, and strong contrasts of light and shadow. I will closely monitor Polina Washington’s use of layered exposure and melancholic color palettes. I will also study how other photographers visualize themes such as identity, memory, and unconsciousness, using distorted, blurred, and symbolic images to express inner states.
