Camera, nature, emotions and people

• Artist Statement

  Sprouting as a changing individual in a world that seems evanescent, the impending fear arrives: growing up. It’s often sometimes hard to recall what exact feelings you were experiencing at every age with every person, but sometimes just seeing an old face in a familiar place reminds you. These photos can remind me about my childhood years because it always seemed more golden and sweeter in memory. Saying goodbye to that childhood innocence by revisiting old memories that including a past elementary school, which was previously shut down just years after my attendance, accompanied by friends sharing a similar experience. Age passes through us, I hope to have catch some of its ripened youth in my friends who have grown and metamorphosed with me. Meant to have sun-kissed joy and glowing beauty, these snapshots capture the fruits of nostalgia that blooms from being a kid one last time through others.

• Creative Statement

  Creativity stems from the right hemisphere of the brain, but deeper on to me it’s more than just a way of function as a human; it’s a way of putting a nectar of sugar into the bitter spill that is driving to move forward. Creativity gives reasons to romanticize life.
