SPECIAL PROJECT
Anyone can take a good photo with a smartphone. The power of photography is not to create a beautiful
photo, but a picture that tells stories. That picture can be hideous, rough and ugly, but it is enough to
connect and evoke viewers' emotions, creating inner dialogue. Confusion, disappointment, anger and
creative excitement are what photograph gives me. The broken gaps inside me are softened by
photography.
This may not be an inkblot test, but I'm glad you can tell what you see and think about everyone in the picture, we all grow up in different backgrounds, every perception is different, it's open for you to imagination and hope you can find your peace.
