Ties & Companion
As though living years ago, I am now on the verge of embracing my father's life, yet unable to comprehend why, years later, he grows ever more reticent. It seems that in the progression of life, we all lose a piece of our memory—a selective, voluntary or involuntary forgetting of those from our past. Years hence, as I stand alone before this world, I find myself at a loss as to what I might then say to him.

One day, I set out with my camera in hand, determined to capture the stories of the people around me, whether they lived in abundance or faced the struggles of poverty. Shanghai, with its vibrant contrasts, offered a canvas rich with narratives waiting to be told. Through my lens, I aimed to delve into the lives of those who contributed to the heartbeat of the city—each face a testament to their unique journey.
In the bustling streets, I found the wealthy, adorned with luxury and privilege. Their lives seemed glossy on the surface, but as I observed, I sought to unearth the deeper emotions hidden behind their smiles. At the same time, I wandered into the less affluent neighborhoods, where resilience and camaraderie painted a different kind of richness. Each person I met carried a story, complex and touching, that transcended their socioeconomic status.
With each click of my shutter, I hoped to bridge the gap between these worlds, to illuminate the shared humanity that connects us all. My mission was not just to document their external circumstances but to reveal the essence of their existence, the laughter and struggles, dreams and despairs. In the play of shadows and light, I endeavored to find the truth of their lives, transforming fleeting moments into lasting memories, and in doing so, perhaps I could awaken a sense of understanding among those who often walk past each other without a glance.
Winter blankets the city in a gentle hush, wrapping the world outside in a soft cocoon of layers of snow and profound silence. Beneath its chilly embrace, the rhythm of life slows significantly, urging moments of deep introspection and contemplation. Dreams weave through the stillness, reviving whispers of unfulfilled aspirations that were once vibrant with boundless possibility and fervor. Those dreams linger like delicate, unique snowflakes—ephemeral and fleeting—drifting into the unconscious mind, inviting us to reflect on what could have been and what might still be.
In the serene quiet that fills the spaces between breaths, aspirations gently stir and awaken. They paint vivid visions of a life lived fully, vibrant and alive, creating a striking contrast against the muted tones of winter's palette. As I stroll through the enchanting streets of Shanghai, I capture the lull—the poignant moments that remind us of our dreams and desires. The dim light casts elongated shadows that dance whimsically along the walls of cozy apartments, where hopes and aspirations lie in quiet repose, waiting patiently to be stirred and roused.
The lens transforms into a bridge, capturing those fleeting glimpses of beauty found in the mundane corners of life—a forgotten alley, the fleeting smile of a passerby, a splash of color against the grayscale backdrop. Each carefully composed photograph stands as a testament to those dreams that linger around us, a visual echo of wishes unfulfilled yet forever palpable. In this season of reflection, I strive to awaken these dreams through my art, aiming to show that even in deep slumber, there exists immense potential for rebirth and rediscovery.
As winter weaves its intricate tapestry of dreams, I warmly invite you to look beyond the surface. The compelling stories waiting to be told shimmer just beneath the frost, ready to be embraced and illuminated once the warmth of spring returns. Each deliberate click of the shutter is a promise—a heartfelt vow to breathe life into those aspirations that drift softly through the cold winter days, transforming them into something tangible, something exquisitely beautiful that resonates with our deepest yearning.
