A bright light gleams in the chaos of life, it gives us a direction to the gateway which we are struggling to find. In a riotously colorful but disorderly world, we are merciful and hard-hearted, convinced and suspicious, joyous and weeping. Too many thoughts and emotions congest the mind. Our vision is foggy; We fail to identify a direction and become lost on the way to the right track.
How many times have I asked myself if what I see and hear is the truth? People receive many stories from the outside, from daily hassles to the most important events. The answers to the stories hold diversified opinions, and there is much to be said on both sides. People reluctantly negotiate with outcomes for controversial issues. However, have we thought about whether these differing opinions can reflect upon universal truths? Fundamentally, who can offer us a firm answer? Do we actually even need an answer? This is the reason for creating art through photography to me. I feel I don’t need answers because the truths will bestow their answers to me.
