I am drawn to images that appear comical yet serious—capturing, through a childlike and pure lens, the sense of incongruous juxtaposition found in the real world. Through a process of visual rhyming in the editing, the work navigates a delicate balance between the real and the fictional. It is infused with humorous yet incisive surrealist observations—touching upon themes such as consumerism, social class critique, urban loneliness and alienation, and the inextricable bond between humanity and the environment.
These images reveal the comical side of human behavior and expose contemporary culture’s rough treatment of nature and tradition. It is akin to an unrehearsed stage play where the audience simultaneously witnesses the backstage clutter and the onstage performance—a state of simultaneous coexistence.
Yet, within the context of photography, this reality requires neither beautification nor redemption; it simply needs to be *seen*. By letting go of the *distinction* between the real and the fictional, I embrace a sense of absurdity that arises spontaneously and effortlessly—perhaps this is the essence of *wu-wei* (effortless action) that I experience in photography.
