ANATTA (Series)
DESCRIPTION
“ANATTA” is a photography project about the perception of life. I hope to interpret the exploration and tribute to the origin of all things through the combination of life, nature, and installations; this project aims to explore the concept of “non-self” (Anatta). It attempts to reveal the essential phenomena of life, emphasizing that all things are interconnected and interdependent.
In this project, I capture the primal beauty of nature through photography, as well as the harmonious coexistence between man-made objects and natural elements. This includes creating and placing installation art within natural landscapes, and using light, shadow, and color to emphasize the diversity and complexity of life. Each photograph is intended to provoke viewers to reflect on life, existence, and the deep connections within the natural world. I hope to evoke people’s respect for the environment, appreciation for the diversity of life, and foster a deeper understanding of the existence of all things.
