Something about us
Turning off a street lined with billboards and peculiar buildings, and following a secluded road, one arrives at the world of nature.
In nature, one can feel a healing energy that soothes the mind and body. Over the past two years, we have repeatedly ventured into forests, beaches, and mountains, exploring the natural spaces surrounding the city. However, upon returning to the city, faced with the constant flow of traffic, the hustle and bustle of crowds, and the intricate structures and networks, the energy gained from nature gradually dissipates within our bodies.
Yet even in places labeled as nature, traces of human intervention are often present. The expansion of human activity has divided the natural areas surrounding cities into isolated islands. At the same time, the cities and settlements where most of us live are themselves enveloped by the vast and intricate natural world. Over the long course of the future, can humanity achieve a dynamic balance with nature? We do not know. However, it seems unlikely that individuals can live exclusively in purely artificial or purely natural environments.
In this complex interplay of the artificial and the natural, what I focus on is our position as small, individual beings caught between the two. While exploring these in-between spaces, I try to sense the moments when energy flows and capture them in photographs based on those feelings.
从一条布满广告牌和奇特建筑的街道转入僻静的小路，就会抵达自然的世界。
在自然中，人能够感受到一种抚慰身心的治愈能量。过去两年里，我们反复进入森林、海滩和山中，探索城市周围的自然空间。然而，当我们回到城市，面对持续流动的车流、喧闹的人群，以及复杂的结构和网络时，从自然中获得的能量又逐渐在身体里消散。
可是，即便在被称为自然的地方，也常常能看见人类介入的痕迹。人类活动的扩张，把城市周围的自然区域切分成一座座孤岛。与此同时，大多数人生活的城市和聚落本身，也被广阔而复杂的自然世界包围着。在漫长的未来里，人类能否与自然达成一种动态平衡？我们并不知道。然而，个体似乎也不可能只生活在纯粹人工或纯粹自然的环境中。
在人工与自然复杂交错的关系里，我关注的是我们作为渺小个体夹在两者之间的位置。在探索这些中间地带时，我试着感受能量流动的瞬间，并依据这些感受将它们拍摄下来。
