Panoramic nominee

■ Story
On a fantastic severe winter morning, people bend over in the cold to cross the bridge.
The mountains that spread all around behind the bridge are visible and hidden through the snow haze like a beautiful white veil.
The wide-stretched bridge is a stage, and everyone who passes over it looks like an actor.
The way they walk on the line emphasizes " encounters, breakups, and passing each other," and also implies decisions such as "crossing, turning back, and stopping," as if to symbolize life itself.
Also, the snowflakes lively in the sky seem to be a stage effect, representing the hundreds of thousands of events.
I want to melt the pollution in my soul, the bittersweet memories that linger in my mind, and the unpleasant sensations that cling to my heart into this shining white snow, then become an unraveled feeling, letting them hang around in the grandness of time, like gospel music.
I hope to walk a passionate path, even if the scenery is sometimes blurry.

[About My Photography]
I hope my emotional semiotic photography leads viewers’ new sensibilities, powers of reaction, and your future by working as a functional inspiration that would support you as much as possible.

My method is capturing an object more culturally, physiologically, or symbolically (with psychological color effects) as a posteriori signifié by using me and camera as a code to enhance the appealing performance of message more than a collection of words.

Intuitively, when the x-axis is time and the y-axis is experience, the integral of experience is a life, and the derivative is a reaction. If the reaction changes, the experience will change and the life will change.

I aim for an art that makes your knowledge of life more beautiful.
