This work combines nature and the human figure, using the idea of ‘the landscape’ to explore the coexistence of humans and nature.
This work is inspired by the ancient Eastern philosophy, the Dao De Jing, written by Lao Zi (5th-century BC), which emphasizes the notion that humans should be in balance with nature, even as one with it. I emphasize through photography that humans and other natural species are essentially the same, mutually constituting and fulfilling each other, in a sense no different from insects, plants, and trees.
Through the combination of a surrealist approach to landscape photography and photographic post-production, this work aims to reveal the sameness of humans and other species. I try to describe the material relevance of humans to the earth and their psychological dependence on nature, to express an uneasy psychological space, that explores the subtle connections between humans and nature.

本作品将自然与人体相结合,通过“风光”的概念来探索人类和自然的共存。
这部作品的灵感来自古代东方哲学——老子(公元前5世纪)所著的《道德经》,强调人类应该与自然保持平衡,甚至与自然融为一体。我希望通过摄影来强调,人类和其他自然物种本质上是一样的,相互构成,相互充实,在某种意义上和昆虫、植物、树木没有区别。
通过风光摄影和后期制作的超现实主义方法相合,这部作品旨在揭示人 类和其他物种的相同之处。我尝试描述人类与地球的物质性关联以及人 类对自然的心理依赖,表达一种不安的心理空间,探索人类与自然之间的微妙联系。
